I think using a google form for this, therefore you can show thumbnails would help when asking Johnny. Considering how much both need to interplay with one another

I like the top down approach. It’s not a “wise” business investment but that’s why the finger should be pointed at gov

Bean Mitchell

I don't understand the "scam" aspect, but the operations are typical not obvious. They do, however, take a bigger cut than the mob did years ago! ($500 payout for 1000:1 odds as opposed to $600.)

Lou Schonder

I'd imagine governments ... plural. Also, I hope you have a means to inject the classic phrases that lotteries are a tax on poor people and/or people that don't understand math. For years, I've told people they'd have better odds hanging around Wall Street asking for a million dollars than playing the lottery. It's probably true!!!

Lou Schonder

Agreed, I'm so sick of the mindset that everything is a conspiracy theory, everything is a scam, everything you love secretly has a dark side. I'm looking forward to this video and I trust Johnny will use enough nuance to make it good, but I'd prefer to stay away from those types of titles.

financially irresponsible**^^ oops!

If I see one more ‘scam’ post, I’ll scream. Yes, the world is a mess, everything is a scam, the government is corrupt, corporations are thieves, there is no escape, we’re doomed. That’s pretty much the ongoing message we hear everyday! Oh wait, I forgot the Deep State! The Dark Reality and how nothing is as it seems. Johnny, bring us out of this, not further into it. I’m tired and need a lift. We need more inspiration, a positive direction. Ways to reshape this world. “What is the power of the people? And how can we exercise it?” That’s a few videos right there. :-D

I feel you, this was my father too. Can't wait for the video !

Oh man, this is gonna be a gooood one! My grandma is obsessed, she's always been awful with money and very financially responsible and sees the lottery as an investment. She's probably poured thousands of dollars (if not more) into lottery tickets and scratch-offs -- money that she definitely needed to save at the time!

Making it about the government gives some conspiracy vibes. It seems to me that any title, with government, military, etc just sounds better and makes me want to click it 😀

I think the value of a $1. lottery ticket is all the "what would I do with this money" escapist fantasies the ticket buyer has before the drawing. That is the value proposition. That the money does into a government hole and doesn't fund education, as advertised, is the scam most people don't think or care about. They want the dream. So the title is more of a "How the Government Scams Your Dreams with the Lottery"

I bought a few lottery tickets when I was old enough to do so. Then I learned about how it was labelled the "idiot tax" and "poor people tax". I can't wait to hear what you have to say about this topic Johnny.

Devan Godfrey

A more click-baity title could be, "The Lottery: The best tax replacement" or some such.

Shawn Butts

I've always seen the lottery as my $1-5 contribution to the wealth of another, hoping that one day that pot luck goes to me. I only played the past three times it has gone to almost a billion however.

Hamlet Meneses

Very good topic. I feel so sad when I go to the store and people who can't even afoard food are buying these things

Are we talking scratch offs or Powerball-type drawings?

Ron Reynolds

We have a HUGE office pool and using maths have spend $50,000 so far with few winnings....... I need to play though as if I do not and they will I will forever be "That Guy" and have to sow up for work the next day when the hole office is gone. lol

Mac-da-Bits

I have always saw the lottery as the voluntary tax.
