However I do think it is a fact that people on lower incomes buy more lottery tickets than those on higher incomes. So to that extent it is a kind of tax because very few people actually win. Regarding Monica's comment no of course not i would be breaking the law if i knowingly took stolen goods.The lottery is a contract that people willingly and knowingly enter into. All i'm saying is when there is money that can be used for doing good should we not take it? Jackie and Monica
