      When someone calls it an idiot tax they mean the actual $2 tickets themselves, not the winnings.

      “Idiot tax” doesn’t refer to the taxes taken from lotto winnings.

      It refers to the money wasted on the minute chance of winning. So minute that only stupid people pay it. Stupid tax.
