It serms incredible to me to give over a billion dollars to a random person.

    The public opinions on Lemmy are fucking daffy. So on top of everything else, yall are cool with predatory gambling system that randomly ruins one person’s life?

      By saying you’re not “cool” with the lottery, does that mean you want it abolished? I don’t like the lottery. I don’t think it should be outlawed. Would you classify me as either cool with it or daffy?

        Certainly less daffy than the people playing it or praising it. I don’t know your reason why you think a state function that harms people for money should be allowed to exist, but I’m guessing it’s not a very rational one.
