I vote the person who steals the lottery tickets is dumber than the person who blows the jackpot because the person who blows the money gets to enjoy the money, for a short time atleast. The person who steals gets notting but maybe time in jail.

I voted steals. I don't think I am dumb for "blowing" my money on tickets. It's my hobby.

Stealing is morally wrong, but in many cases I'm not sure how "dumb" it is. There are very smart people who steal from others all the time. They just lack scruples. However, I'll say stealing lottery tickets is probably very stupid since they can be traced.
Blowing your money is also stupid and careless, but it isn't illegal. Well, it's a good question, but I honestly don't think they are related too closely. One is a crime and the other is acting irresponsibly. One is immoral and the other is poor judgment. I guess greed might be one factor they both share. But if you are lost at sea and drink all your water in one day instead of using a little at a time for survival, it's not the same as stealing the other guy's water while he's sleeping.

You said that so eloquently!
A companion to stealing is lying:
If a person steals they also lie!
Conversely:
If a person lies they also steal!
A mind once stretched by a new idea never returns to its original dimensions!

I read the poll wrong. I thought it said who is dumber those who steal or those who blow their money on tickets.  My answer is the same, but I read it wrong. Sorry.

The act of stealing is dumber than blowing a jackpot - unless you're Robin Hood.
