    Generally the big culprit there is the scratch-off stuff you see at gas stations.

    Powerball, due to the delays in reward processing, is not as “addictive” as scratch-off/peel-off gambling.

      True, but I just don’t think we should incentivize funding amazing programs with money sources primarily funded by the underprivileged day dreaming of a better life. It just seems sad.

          Unfortunately for your world views, no. I’m 28 and able to engage in empathy for the plight of my fellow man. Sad you’ve gotten that used to callous realities.
