Adam Piore explains how the lottery is basically a waste of time and money. He goes to great lengths to prove that that is so by providing statistics and different sources in his writing. Adam describes different lottery games and explains how they are supposed to increase the odds of winning but end up becoming harder to win. There is a 1 in 175 million chance of winning in the lottery and it gets harder and harder every year with more and more players every year in hopes of making it big.
Adam Piore does an excellent job convincing me that the lottery is a bad thing, start to realize just how much time and money is wasted for that small chance at an easy life. Piore may sound negative in his writing towards the lottery, but at the end of his article he states that there was a “1oo million-dollar jackpot” and even he couldn’t stop the thought of what he “would do with that money” from seeping into his mind. The fact that even Piore allowed that thought get in his head shows how much of a hold the lottery can have on people. I agree the lottery is a waste of money I understand wanting money for an easy life, but everyone should work to make their lives easier not blow money for a 1 in a million chance at making it big. I like how Piore made it clear how much time and money was wasted while playing. Even if the game gave out more prizes it was only to get you to feel like winners. They know how to keep you coming back for more.
