Feature Quote

Why can’t we make lottery tickets like prescription drugs? They do a commercial and the last 15 seconds, they talk about the warning signs, what’s gonna happen – heart attacks, death, this, that. I remember my daughter saying ‘dad, why would anybody take this medication if they knew they were going to die?’ It doesn’t seem to make sense. We always wanted the same thing on lottery tickets. Buy this lottery ticket, but in case there may be divorce, suicide, lose your house.”
