I want to say this to all these math majors. You are not going to win the lottery, ever, stop trying, spend all the money you save on condoms so there will be less of a chance that you'll accidently breed.

I don't think that a lot of people realize that they have only a slightly better chance of winning the lottery as they do finding a million dollars growing on a bush on the way to play it. Some people must have skipped the math class about probability, hell they seamed to have missed the English class where they teach you what the word probability means. You have a chance in hell of actually winning, but some people think that 50 chances in hell dramatically improve their odds. It's in this way that the lottery is the closest thing we have to a tax on stupidity, but I don't think that I should have to wait around for this tax to be collected. It should be like other taxes and be garnished directly out of morons Mc Donald's paycheck. It could be listed as "Slim hope of retirement fund" right on their pay stub.

On top of automatically garnishing wages people who play the lottery should be tagged like cattle so debt collection agencies can locate them easier and people will know that they are horrible at managing their money so they shouldn't loan any to them. The tag doesn't have to be gaudy or anything, I'm not some inhuman monster that would have these filthy pricks walking around with gigantic orange plastic tags clamped into their ears. I'm sure we could design a fashionable hoop earring or stylish collar that randomly electrocutes the wearer as punishment for being stupid throughout the day.

We have the technology people, all that's lacking is the will.
