>Here in Wisconsin they used to have an add on TV for the state lotto. The jingle was "You don't have to play to win". Now the reason for that is that is that some of the net income from the state lottery is used to reduce your property taxes. I think last year my property taxes were reduced by $100 because of lottery. So I am winning even if I don't play <bg>
Actually, I'd argue that you're losing whether you play or not, since the social cost of the state encouraging gambling is probably higher than the tax reductions.
