I just want everyone to know that I have given over $70,000 to the Oregon Lottery over 18 years of playing video poker.

When I called them to tell them how much money I have lost to them, they didnt even have my name in their computer system.  They had no idea I had donated that much of my earned income to them.  What am I to them?  Obviously they only care to receive my money and dont care from who it comes from.  I realize I chose to sink the cash into the machines, but the problem I have is they are purposely praying on problem gamblers.  They realize that problem gamblers make up around 80% of their total revenue for each fiscal year.  The money generated from problem gamblers has become a cash cow for the state.  It's morally wrong to pray on the poor and desprete. 

Did you also know, about 50 people commit suicide yearly in Oregon due to losing all their money to the lottery

The Oregon Lottery needs to be sued for fraud against its players, and restitution should be compensated to all affected.
