That is why lotto in our country is still alive and many people are still playing ball game, because mainly if the lotto is focused on just earning profits, and government isn't benefiting from it, they might view it just a gambling platform that isn't healthy for the people.
Same as my country before, a lottery for providing help building sport but it's not going well.
What a waste of time, police is for crime not personal choices.
Gambling illegal in my country, Police will act when civil against those rules.
