My mother had a good union job that paid $25+ an hour in the 90s. For years, she would pump every paycheck into this kike scheme. No father of course. Sometimes she'd get a few hundred back. Most of the time I'd join my cousins digging through dumpsters for that week's food. Got evicted several times, never had a lasting friendship and gave up trying. One christmas she showed off a giant pile of presents for me under the usually barren tree. I came to find out it was all on layaway, and it all had to be returned, because the winnings she expected never came and neither did Christmas, again. My family turned to drugs to cope with this poverty. My brother OD'd and so did a couple cousins, others jailed. Eventually she died and I inherited nothing but surprise debts. If you or anybody else encourages others to keep this shell game of misery going, you are sick. Gambling addiction is a disease and those who perpetuate it it are more evil than child rapists as far as I'm concerned. So many lives have been ruined and there'll undoubtedly be plenty more to come.
