Lets say I have 100 tickets with 0 winning numbers. My bank account is $0. I sell 100 tickets for $10 each. I announce that this time, no body hit the jackpot. I keep $1000 and announce that next jackpot is $500. I once again sell another 100 tickets with one winning ticket that I gave to buddy of mine and put his ass on the news. People believe, Pyramid scheme is growing. Operation continues. Multiply that number by millions and there you have it a perfect legal Pyramid scheme.
Eventually some random people win 1% of money that circulating(equivalent to an early investor getting his money back from new investors). Chances of you winning is just like investor getting his money back from Pyramid scheme.
The only difference between lottery scheme and investment scheme is Investment scheme you have a chance between about 1000 investors to get your money back. In lottery is millions of people.
You may ask, why is this legal? Well, In investment scheme you are promised a return or a healthy return for that matter. You are given statements/papers stating that. You are promised something in return, anything. Promising someone you will return their money and not deliver is a Fraud and against the law.
In lottery, they flat out don't promise you shit, nothing! Same in Casino. They sell you a «Maybe Believe». If God him self comes down from heaven you might win. They even tell you that you might never win in your entire life. That's not against the law. That's your own itch(I might, I might win this time) like a drug. Praying on your own stupidity.
So you go on an take your chance, roll a dice, because for one lucky person there is millions of losers.
The House Always Wins!
