Finally consider from this blog, Orge's Politics and Views:
In 1999 Duke University studied who played the lottery in various states. It found this correlation between education and lottery spending:
| Education | Average $ Spent per year on Lottery |
| High School Dropouts | $700 |
| High School Graduates | $409 |
| Some College | $210 |
| College Graduates | $178 |
In addition, a full Eighty-Two percent of all sales from lottery tickets were sold to problem gamblers, as defined as those who spend $1,619 a year or more.
A collection of libertarian, liberal, conservative and Christian views all converge on the fact that state lotteries are a tax on the poor. So why is it tolerated?
