The lottery is an insanely irresponsible way of giving people money. Welfare can be done in a smarter way than just give a million to some homeless guy

### REPLY:
The lottery is a revenue stream for governments, it's not an expenditure or welfare program. Kinda the opposite. 
  
 Anyways it's kinda both. People are retarded but the system is still mostly stacked against people, especially the further down the socioeconomic ladder you go. If you are born poor, you're most likely going to stay poor. That said, people's demand are unlimited and people love to squander money.
