Editorial: Study of lottery winners still receiving food stamps is flawed but raises good pointsReply
If a law was passed that a person on government assistance could not play the lottery I can assure you these pots would never get to millions of dollars or even close.

Ireland Lottery advertising claims under scrutinyReply
Who were the Einsteins that negotiated the sale of the 20-year National Lottery licence, on behalf of the Irish Government? The committee said it noted that under the terms of the lottery licence, unclaimed prize money should be used solely for the promotion of the National Lottery, with the proviso that the promotion includes the funding of special draws and additional top-up prizes; and which may include incremental marketing and advertising of the National Lottery and/or Lottery Games .
