Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1043298The lottery is a tax on the poor...congratulations, you're stupid. Last Edited by BRIEF AND TO THE POINT on 07/28/2010 03:53 PM Poor people do poor people things, and rich people do rich people things. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is the beginning of the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it! when you rob Paul to give to Peter ... ... ... you will always get Peters support! :Brieffromnativea: |

Yes.... and no. Every state levies a tax on tobacco, and no the tax is not optional if you're buying cigarettes, but the tax is optional from the point of view that buying cigarettes is an optional purchase (I'm a smoker so a lot of days it doesn't feel optional, but really it is, I make a choice each day). The lottery falls in the same category but with a tax rate of 100% (or very nearly so - I'm not sure if the actual vendor gets a piece of the sale or not). If you buy a ticket, you paid the tax. Don't want to pay the tax, don't buy the ticket. |

Not a poor bastard. User ID: 1112144 United States 09/27/2010 02:41 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | You can use a 1000 watt metal halide lamp with a glass lens over it. Flip the reflector over so the glass is facing up, lay down aluminum foil around a square equal to the size of your lottery ticket. This will help redirect light back into the reflector, and eventually focus it back into the square hole left in the center. Then simply lay your lottery ticket over the square. The light from a 1000 watt bulb will easily penetrate the material used for the "gold" coating. If you are having trouble reading the actual digits through the material (sometimes they line the paper with black hash marks to make it difficult to distinguish the actual number) you can put on a pair of UV blocking sunglasses to limit the exposure to your eyes. It works wonderfully. |

The inked areas might change temperature more rapidly than the non-inked areas....just a thought. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 1042753 United States 04/18/2011 11:15 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The lottery is the stupid tax. Yeah, you COULD win $10k, but you probably won't. It's hilarious that people pay into the system, which only pays out a fraction of what people put into it, leaving the surplus for the government to spend as they see fit. It's like a non mandatory SS program. |

Kung Fu User ID: 1346007 United States 04/18/2011 11:24 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | To attempt you would need to be the store owner, so you could spend time trying to see the whole roll.. then if you see a winner at say ticket #52 wait till customers buy close to #52, days, weeks whatever and then buy the 5 or so before it to be sure it is not accidentaly sold. You may never see a big winner...! The smallest form of life, even an ant or a clam, is equal to a human being. -Ingrid Newkirk, PETA |
