A comment on Here’s $100. Can you win $800M at Powerball?. Parent comment
You probably meant "exploitation" rather than "exploration".
I've heard it phrased a little differently: The lottery is a voluntary tax on the stupid.
A slightly different phrasing: The lottery is a voluntary tax on the innumerate.
BTW I did purchase two Powerball tickets a few hours ago. Wish me luck!
