There's a secret program, a test program at this point, that distributes money to po' people so they can play the lottery. The thinking is that if they WIN the lottery they'll boost the economy. Those black velvet Elvis paintings aren't buying themselves. If they don't win the lottery they're still boosting the economy by putting that money into the Stop~N~Robs.
Mind you, this is entirely separate from the Tattoo Reallocation Project.
