There’s nothing pressingly Wallingford on our radar at the moment, so instead you’re going to have to put up with our anti-lottery screed, sorry.
We understand that some sort of mega lottery (MegaMillions) has reached $325 million and some of you likely saying “hey, I’m a smart puppy, I know my maths: a $325 million pay-off when the odds of winning are 175 million to one? That’s a good bet!”
It’s not, and if you’ll stick with us, we’ll explain why. After that, we’ll explain why the lottery is the anti-Robin Hood, stealing from the poor.

What that effectively means is that you’re giving the lottery people an interest free loan that they have 26 years to pay back. They’re saying to you “if we win, you give us your money now, but if you win, you’ll get your pay-off 26 years from now.”

So, if you think you need help with problem gambling better admit it to your dear ones or friends. They were definitely waiting for the day you would ask for some help with your issue.
