The utility in gambling is the entertainment value, not as a money making enterprise. There's no financial utility in a sports car, yet we buy them. For other reasons.

As always, Peter, we’ll argued and written. Preying on the poor like this is an abomination! BTW, your hypertext link are very helpful - thanks. My wife and I are bingeing on Ozark and are enjoying it, since we willingly suspend disbelief for all the Deus Ex Machina multiple escapes from death and destruction in every episode.😁
I’ve long said that gambling generally, and lotteries in particular, are just taxes on stupidity.
Yet another Roots of Liberty URL bookmarked. Lots of info here - thank you.
So it's better to play the casinos where, "the house always wins," than the lottery, where the house wins more.
I'll keep that in mind should I ever consider gambling.

“All 'chance' gambling is a losing proposition.”
Amen!
Neil Boortz always referred to buying lottery tickets as a poor tax. Not very far off.
