Lotto will again make poor people poorer

It was wonderful without the lotto because people did something positive with their cash. Gidani Ltd, which was awarded the licence to operate the national lottery, are rejoicing because the company is the big winner.

Our government does not care about us.

How can we be sure that someone really wins? The organisers might just be telling us that to deceive us to keep playing.

The government and the Lotto operators benefit while poor people become poorer. Now that the lotto is back, people will suffer again.
