Chris...
The lottery money goes mostly on football staduims, opera houses, multi-million £ domes scheduled for destruction after a year... whilst the poor spend pound after pound on trying to grasp a far-fetched prize of a large sum of money.
The non-profit company who wanted to run the lottery was cheated out of it, so Camelot could continue to make a large profit and plenty of others could live in corrupt luxury...
There are hospitals and schools being shut down accross the country, not enough money to fund them...
And you say its a good analogy?
