Earlier this semester, we talked about the Georgia Lottery and its impact on the HOPE scholarship. We talked about how the majority of people who buy the tickets are from lower income communities. Well a few days ago, Mega Millions swept the nation or at least Facebook. Everybody I knew was buying a lottery ticket. Even my mom told me to go to the gas station to purchase one. I did not, for a few reasons. One, because I knew there was a catch. 2, the taxes are to high. And boy was I right, instead of one winner there were I think six winners all out of St. Louis and each received 250, 000 each, probably before taxes. I knew the lottery was not going to allow more than one person to win. So all this talk about what people would do if they won millions, was completely insane. Anyway, I wanted to share this video with you. Let me know your thoughts about winning the lottery as a whole.
