I see advertisments for cat food, but I don't go out and buy it. Neither have I ever bought a lottery ticket ater being hoodwinked by any ad campaign.
People buy them in the hope that they will be rich beyond their wildest dreams, and not to aid good causes. There are plenty of other avenues available if they want to give to charitable causes.
The Lottery isn't a tax, we have a choice if we wish our money to fund some of these dubious good causes.
I'm happy in the knowledge that I've saved over six hundred pounds, instead of buying a weekly ticket since it started, and some of the high profile winners, including rapists and Chav scum, more than counteract the lie that money alone makes you happy.
