I tolerate it more than all other gambling thats allowed in my jurisdiction because it's at least a little bit rate limited (only 3 draws a week), involves a bit more friction (tickets are physical only), and profits is specifically returned to the community via an extensive grant system (isnt just rolled back into general tax revenue).

You can't stamp out gambling completely but I find well run state lotteries preferable to sports betting apps, poker machines and any other digital gambling platform.
