get rich quick scheme

people are looking for a get rich quick scheme rather than inverting. The lottery is based on instant gratification. most people have placed their future in the hands of fate and are waiting for that glorious day when it will all come through for you, but you may NEVER get that break. in any stateand probably any store that sells Powerball tickets, cases of compulsive gambling will abound. tales of customers spending $100, $200, and even $500 on piwerball tickets were frighteningly common. "one waiter from New York claimed to have spent $3,000 in powerball tickets in Greenwich, Connecticut" ( tech.mit.edu ) this quote means that some people can see that they have a problem with the lottery, but they just dont care. they thinkit doesnt matter just because they spent many years playing but in actuality, it does matter.
