I think getting wiped out financially by lotteries is still pretty rare in comparison to stuff like sports betting and drug use.

State lotteries at least fund positive things, instead of just private profit. WA State as an example: https://www.walottery.com/PressRoom/Details.aspx?id=12129

My state makes lotteries illegal but I still support gambling. It’s one thing for someone to get ripped off in a private transaction that you can walk away from.

However the government is a monopoly, and has a monopoly on violence. Giving a mafia that can take your house away or put you behind bars their own casino is an incredibly bad idea.
