People with a lottery mentality typically do not invest the money in high return investments.  They often spend it on frivolous matters. Also, often the money obtained by the state lotteries go to public schooling which is another poor investment. Plus, there is the cost of government employees who have to administer the lottery programs. Lastly, from a societal time efficiency standpoint, often people have to wait in line at stores behind the lottery players. [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] 01:17, 30 August 2014 (EDT)

People with a lottery mentality typically do not invest the money in high return investments.  They often spend it on frivolous matters. Furthermore, why should the state tempt people to waste their money on lotteries that they have a poor chance of winning. It teaches people to invest their money in poor investments. It also develops a "lottery mentality" in people rather than a work ethic. Simply put, it is often preying on unwise citizens.
