Reply to comment by elefantsblue in Did you know the PA Lottery re-shot the famous Christmas commercial in HD, shot-for-shot? by whomp1970

I get what you’re saying but soooo many of the older and disabled people I help at work benefit from the PA property tax and rent rebate and PACE/PACENet prescription programs that I can’t speak too harshly against the lottery, especially since they do publicly post odds of winning and tons of gambling addiction resources.

Same argument is used when people feed their kids with money made from heroin…

Yeah, except selling heroin is illegal and can cause death to those who purchase it

I’m just saying seeing a benefit in a negative doesn’t negate the negative.
