as per the top post I think the main issue that people have with the lottery is that it is a stupid&#x2F;poor tax. Low income and less educated people spend the most on lottery tickets anywhere between 1.5 times to 3.5 times more than those with a higher level of education or a higher income. Notably this spending is also a significantly higher % of their total income than it is for those on middle&#x2F;higher income levels.
