in Why It’s Sometimes Immoral To Treat The Poor and Uneducated As Equals (A Libertarian Essay) on dmiessler.com | grep understanding
I used to believe that lottery was a math tax too, until i found an interesting article about it (lost link, sorry).

The idea of the article goes like this: My chances of being finantially suscesfull with my work is high. So lottery's cost/benefice is very low for me.

BUT this is the case for me. If I have no chance of success in my work, then the cost/benefice of lottery is much better.

So, in this case poor people are not bad at math. Their reality is different.
