I dont really think the lottery itself is wrong... the reasons for playing might... meaning your mindset when playing. Lets say you know the numbers that are gonna come out.. why not play and win? you play for 10 bucks and you win 5000 its just like investing! I am very spiritual and use my subconscious mind to get the right numbers for certain games and I always win and so I get extra cash monthly just from lottery wins! If I can get money.. Hey... why not play!!?? And for me its all about your mindset
