Yes that's right - but I know the saying as "lotto is a tax on the stupid"! But I think that's pretty unfair, because who can balme anyone from trying to improve their lot. However, as I always tell my lotto systems clients, always, always only spend as much as you are prepared to lose - that way, if when you do win a prize, it's a bonus. Of course, what most people don't know is that you CAN win regular prizes along the way - it's just not common knowledge how... so scratch tickets are just perfect for those who don't want to think....
