Despite driving past Foremost Liquor Market in South Pasadena every day on the way to work. I have never stopped in to buy a lottery ticket.

So don't ask me for a few bucks to tide you over until pay day.

I've never bought a lottery ticket for myself ever actually.

I had a leftist philosophy prof in college tell me that two main groups in America are for low taxes: rich people, and poor people who hope to win the lottery. Maybe true...

I think state run lotteries are a regressive form of taxation that should be outlawed.

This battle will be lost along with quest to end the double error and to restore Jae Seo's save from June 23.

The lottery is a tax on people who don't know statistics.

statistically, however, there are times when you should buy a lottery ticket, because the expected payoff is greater than $1. sometimes this happens with a very large jackpot.
