What Is Your View Towards Lottery Games ?

　　Nowadays a fashionable st reet scene is the buying and selling of lot tery tickets . People crowd around either in front of big buildings or at str eet corners , purchasing coupon s of various kinds , such as those of social welfar e, spor ts industry and football games .

　　Investigations made among those“ lottery citizens”show that they do it for differ ent purposes . Some say that they play the game just for fun , others insist that they want to sponsor a thletic development , still some others simply decide to try their luck .

　　Howeve r , I believe the aim behind the game , if fully exposed , is to make easy money , as it is said the prize winner can get millions of yuan in an instant , which is obviously gr eat temptation . In my mind , lottery is much the same as gambling in nature and it cer tainly brings more negative effects than positive effects , if any .

　　Fir st , the ove rwhelming majority , being misled by earning-quick-buck mentality , ar e impatient and imp ulsive to put their time and money into wrong investment . Secondly , not a few people, being indulged in lot tery , lose not only initiative for work but also interest in life .

　　Thirdly , some individuals , having gambled away all their money , may commit crimes .

　　Four thly , young people, par ticular ly students ( even pupils) may step by step become addicted to lott ery and finally leave their studies .

　　I think the cliché“reaping what one sows”is still applicable today and“sowing”takes time and ha rd work . To have instant reaping is definitely one’s wishful thinking . Last of all , since gambling and lot tery both mean risking money on luck , why the former is forbidden by law and the latt er is so much encour aged ?
