Poorman's Lottery

I once noticed some of the Poor,

Heading to the gas station door.

A magic ticket to buy,

only to leave with a sigh,

And collect cans to buy some more.

An unfortanute truth about lotteries - those who can afford it least, play it the most. Nice Limerick. Good luck in the contest.
