Do you believe gambling on the State Lottery is worth the risk?

There are so many ways especially designed to extract money from the poor people under the pretense of be beneficial to a few. The system has gone so far as to include a monetary benefit to the education system in order to justify the high risk of losing. Many schools are in receipt of said benefits but they just don't happen to be in the areas that they are most needed. How many people do you personally know that have hit lotto? Sure you spend thousands each year and are content with winning a few hundred now and then but when you see more schools in the poverty stricken areas closing and more prisons being built and more children dropping out to the school system and entering the prison system in our areas then you can't help but wonder where is the money for our schools? Is it really worth it? Do you think it would be better to save up and donate specifically to the schools of your choice or petition a listing of the donations made to schools in our areas or do you even care?
