Fund raisers are fine for non profit groups. This is a way for a commercial enterprise to make in excess of 200% profit. If you want to play - fine. I choose not to. regarding the lottery- the state will get your money one way or the other. I look at it as a voluntary tax. Alos most lottos do not take in 200% more than they pay out. If you win the tank- good for you. The big winner is the sponsor of this drawing.
