Lottery is money laundering.
They literally show you spinning balls like a washing machine because that's what it is.
But on the off chance any anons EVER win the lottery, the first thing you should do is set up an auction for the ticket. You will get more money than you won and a new identity.

Buy a ticket and you will PROBABLY not win.
Do NOT buy a ticket and you CAN NOT win.

Unironically what is wrong with that. How is that predatory? That's what a lottery is, the ticket prices fund the prize for the winner.

Crazy thing is, lottery isnt money laundering. Numbers and gambling in general truly make billions and billions of dollars in a legit way .
What I mean is why use lottery to launder drug money for example when lottery itself makes 5 times more money than drugs, even if you launder illegit money through lottery is it ever laundering if you make way more money running it in a legit way?

For a significant % of the population in any given country, lottery is their only chance at not working pay check to pay check.
Sure their quality of life would increase marginally if they didn't play the lottery but instead spend the money on leisure or saved it up.
