Most lotteries lose money. Wait ... let me rephrase that. Most GOVERNMENT FUNDED lotteries lose money. The mob ran them for decades ... they didn't seem to have problems losing money until government came in and wiped them all out since they wanted to the be premier organized crime family on the planet.
All of it is a scam. All of it.
What do you mean they lose money?
In the case of Pennsylvania state lottery's"fund", half was supposed to go to help senior citizens. Half goes to the winner. The state blew that money on other garbage. The lottery itself falls into the negative and cannot fund itself.
It's one of the big reasons many states ganged up to make these mega jackpot lotteries.
I think a similar thing happened in Illinois ... They couldn't pay out winning for a little while since they didn't have the money.
Yea that makes sense. Bigger ‘pools’ of money (bigger jackpots) gives them more money to play with. That makes a lot of sense actually. And provides incentives these days to make sure the jackpots are all really large.
Good Mr. President! Now get these bastards :-) (in reference to your name ;-) ).
Also, if you want to read a good story about how lotteries can be manipulated, check this one out ... I was really young when this happened ... the guy that ran the local TV show (Bowling for Dollars) was in on the scam. He was an icon in the area.

Also note that all of these lotteries still use those "balls" in a machine to present the illusion of randomness to those that throw their money at this idiot tax that's accepted as "normal" all across the country.
