Texas Lottery Draws Reveal Yet Another Troubling Trend

The Oppressive System Fuels Inequality

AUSTIN, Texas — The Texas Lottery results for August 6, 2024, are in, and once again, the systemic inequalities of our capitalist society are laid bare.

Pick 3

The morning, day, and evening draws [((https://www.texaslottery.com/export/sites/lottery/Games/Pick_3/index.html#PastResults)] have culminated in a FIREBALL-laden spectacle:

• Morning: 4-8-3 FIREBALL: 5
• Day: 3-0-5 FIREBALL: 7
• Evening: 1-2-3 FIREBALL: 9

Pick 4

Further advancing the notion that the system is rigged, the Pick 4 results mirrored the unequal distribution of wealth in our society:

• Morning: 0-4-5-7 FIREBALL: 9
• Day: 1-5-6-5 FIREBALL: 1
• Evening: 8-1-0-4 FIREBALL: 6

Check out the payouts and previous drawings if you want to further witness the systemic unfairness at play.

All or Nothing

The All or Nothing draws lay bare the harsh reality of the zero-sum game that is our current economic system, where some win at the expense of others:

• Morning: 02-04-05-07-09-10-11-12-15-19-20-22
• Day: 03-05-06-10-12-15-16-17-18-19-20-23
• Evening: 01-03-04-07-08-12-13-16-18-22-23-24

Enablers of this Unjust System

The ease of access to lottery tickets only perpetuates the problem. Enablers such as gas stations, convenience stores, and grocery stores facilitate the fantasy of striking it rich, lining their pockets off the dreams of the marginalized.

Even airport terminals, which cater to a more privileged demographic, participate in this exploitative enterprise.

Compounding the issue, digital lottery services like Jackpocket—the official digital lottery courier of the USA TODAY Network—expand this problematic influence to Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Idaho, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Puerto Rico, Washington, D.C., West Virginia, and our very own Texas.

Their app facilitates the dangerous gamble from the comfort of one's phone, luring users with the promise of convenience and winnings, further entrenching inequality.
