Lottery Players Association, wanna join?Reply
You are right Coin Toss, lottery corporations are like the casinos and never really lose profit ... the can only make money. I have the fortunate opportunity of living in Canada where every lottery game is tax free. Even the largest lottery win is not taxed. I do think its a good idea to have a grass roots plan for those U-S states that have really poor odds, huge tax margins, and no concern for players.

8-time B.C. Lottery winner has history of fraudReply
There is no law in the United States, or in Canada that prohibits a lottery retailer from purchasing lottery tickets.

In the U.S. only the state governments can run a lottery - including scratchers. Any private atempt to do so would come under the RICO Act (racketeering).
