Still others find the activity enjoyable and exciting, or even as a way to pass the time.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Studies have shown that a large percentage of lottery ticket buyers are low-income people and minorities. Additionally, many lottery players are prone to covetousness, which is why the Bible forbids it (see Ecclesiastes 5:10). They are lured into playing the lottery with promises that their problems will disappear if they just have enough money. But that is a lie, and the odds of winning are slim to none.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In the early years of America\u2019s history, lotteries were a common way for state governments to raise money. In fact, Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin held lotteries to retire debts and buy cannons. But there was a darker side to these games, too. Studies have found that the money raised by lottery players is disproportionately concentrated in poor neighborhoods and is largely earmarked for gambling addiction.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lottery is a form of gambling in which tickets are sold for a chance to win a prize, usually money.
