Yup.

And, of course, it's a tax that our legislators don't have to pass.
What could be better than people standing in line to pay a tax that

Remind me again why Bernie Madoff is in jail?

If he had said, "I might rip you off, I might not, *but in any event
the chances of getting your money back are 1 in 1000000000000, he
probably wouldn't be.

He sold dreams at a high price too.

But the state is selling High Priced dreams at a low cost.

The government fully publishes the odds. Madoff did not.

BTW, I did win seven bucks on five bucks worth of tickets. 40% profit
in a day and a half is nothing to sneeze at.
