“Buying lottery tickets is a perfectly rational entertainment expense”
Agree
- Two dollars for daydreaming worth it
- No different than movie ticket spending
- Entertainment value in the possibility alone
- My money my harmless fun choice
Disagree
- Literally designed to exploit poor people
- Terrible odds make it objectively wasteful
- That money could actually grow invested
- False hope isn't entertainment it's sad
