ABC Nightline's lead story is about folks putting their future's hopes in ... the lottery. |

C'mon folks! $52 million in Powerball today. No shoving.
Hey! I think this is the remaining American dream. The MSM is breaking in the concept.

1. At least you lose the money all at once |

Unlike the stock market where that could take a year or two.
Chance of winning is probably better as well.

4. I live in a poor to working class neighborhood. |
|
There's an old neighborhood grocery a block away.
Most customers buy lotto tickets.
The state has replaced the old "numbers runners"
