Give us all Your Money!
Give us all your money,
Then go and find some more;
Try borrowing from loan sharks
To maximise your score.
Steal it from the corner shop
Or from your parents’ stash;
With every tempting wager,
We’ll part you from your cash.
Your chances of a pay-out
Are vanishingly thin;
You might as well take out your wad
And chuck it in the bin.
Your bank account is in the red,
Your credit rating’s up the spout;
We value all our customers
Until they are cleaned out!
BUT PLEASE! GAMBLE RESPONSIBLY.

My thanks to Manish, Keith, 7eVen and John C for your comments and support. All the 'gamble responsibly' nonsense masks the fact that the whole industry's business model is based on people betting (and losing) more than they can afford. As you say, Keith, lotteries are a giant con, hiding behind 'good causes' which governments should fund themselves.
And thanks to Aisha, Tom, Hugh, Pete, Stephen A, Tim, Bethany, Holden and Rob for liking.
