So with the billboard I think that yes if it where a company it should be allowed but that it shouldn't be socially acceptable. I mean it's still disgusting and unethical even if it's just a company. Your comment got me thinking because in most situations if it where a company doing things they didn't agree with people could just boycott. Like let's say some make up company started advertising to little girls in a really regressive way, I think many who disagreed wouldn't buy the brand. Yet with lottery, I wonder how many people would condemn the ad but be unable to stop. Not even the type of person we think of as addicted, but just your "regular" person who when leaving the grocery store starts to think well what if this time I would have won. It's creepy and really the lottery has to much control over people to ever be trusted as it's own company. It also makes me think about how many functional addicts there are in the world.
