Lotteries are theft. a scam.
Taxes?
...promise of big money so you pay your few dollars but your 'chance' of winning is astonomical. Wait you WON? UH OH, you owe the tax man. But wait a minute. This money came from everybody, so now the government now collects money from everyone. LOL. Easy peasy tax scam. You spend the money, tax again. hahah. This is extremely wasteful use of anyone's time. Stop being scammed.
Another explanation
A guy has a horse. He walks into town A and has a bright idea to raffle off the horse. He gathers the townfolk together and raffles it off, collecting $500 from all the raffle ticket sales. Later on he goes to the winner and talks with him. The winner has no where to actually keep the horse, so the guy says to him. I'll buy it from your for $100. The winner says wow ok, deal. The guy takes the horse and his $400 to town B and repeats. Now change out the horse with a set amount of cash.
