He’s Gonna Lose Everything He Has in Less Than 5 Years

If you didn’t know it already, I’ll say it again. I’m not a fan of the lottery. It’s a scam that steals billions of dollars from society’s poorest and most vulnerable members. Here’s one quick example of what I mean. Earlier this week a guy from South Carolina walked into a gas station, bought a
