Why No One Wins the Lottery with Jon Cohen
Category: Comedy
Duration: 01:22:32
Publish Date: 2022-12-14 15:03:00
Description:

Lotteries are the most popular form of gambling. So why the hell is the lottery run by our own government? And do they actually provide a windfall for public schools, or are they a scam that diverts money from the poorest taxpayers to a few giant companies? This week Adam is joined by Jonathan Cohen to explain how the government ended up taking over lotteries from organized crime syndicates, how they were then captured by a few large companies, and whether or not they actually pay off for society in the end.
