PAGE 5 EDITOR Thursday, January 21, 2016 Opinion Destyni Casares, 586-5488 Does the lottery do more bad than good? There comes a rush of optimistic opportunity with the next California powerball pulling in over 50 million. Almost everyone has dreamed about winning the lottery, but when it comes down to it, are you losing more than you think? The University Journal Editorial Board decided whether the lottery was really worth the risk and if it could actually be considered gambling for the worst. Lotteries across the country claim there are winners, no matter how much you spend on tickets and customers cross state lines to try their luck. However, the board didn’t think the chance of winning a big prize was really worth the money you spend not only on tickets, but the travel to get them. While it’s true you could win something other than the main prize, those other prizes could only be worth one dollar, maybe 10. Add up the amount of times you decide to buy tickets and you could be cheating yourself out of money better spent somewhere else. This form of spending leads us to the big question: Is the lottery really just another gamble? Gambling itself is a game you play to win money or other big prizes. Many would think that big prize winners would give their money away to support charities and other organizations. Unfortuntley there have been many instances where it has led to addiction and unhealthy activities, many of which can be exhibited by many past lottery winners. According to business insider, there have been many instances where big SAM SHERRILL / UNIVERSITY JOURNAL lottery winners have gone broke by spending all their winnings on drugs, gambling, cars, etc. Hope and opportunity can easily turn into an unhealthy addiction when you think you have nothing to lose. Why Canon dominates over Nikon It’s easy to get lost in the fame, and many don’t think I’m not known for being biased, but when it comes to camera brands, Another thing I really like about Canon is its video producing software. what they could be putting at stake. I have to side with the widely known Canon. I have handled a Nikon Canon was the first to offer an auto focus feature which dominated video The board also pointed out that the money advertised before, but I really much prefer Canon for a number of reasons, especially making productions. Nikon slowly caught on, but I still feel like Canon for you to win doesn’t necessarily mean it all goes when comparing DSLR models. has the advantage with it being the first to offer and expand this feature. back to you when you do. It changes from state-to- If you don’t know, DSLR stands for digital single-lens reflex. It’s I regualarly use Canon for vlogs and trips and I felt it really succeeded in state but there is still a chunk you have to pay before basically an upgrade from your regular old point-and-shoots but with capturing the quality and detail I neeeded. collecting your earnings and many on the board felt much better responses and options. If you want to seriously get into Canon’s A/F (Autofocus) features for capturing sports are better that, that was unfair. The board also felt the money photography then DSLR is usually than Canon’s video, but does well in the way to go. One of the biggest “Personally I came from capturing the full resolution of speed. given through the lottery could also be spent in a rivalries however would have to be Nikon, as I stated above, has done great more positive way such as funding to colleges or that between Canon and Nikon users. a household that was split in catching up with Canon but just scholarships. It’s true that some money goes to public Personally, I came from a household between using the two doesn’t offer the easy access of usage services such as education but that’s only after most that was split between using the two I feel Canon really seems to give me. of it is paid towards government services, according brands.

Nikon always had an throughout this piece, however, is that difference when so little money is given away. odd feel to it when I handled it. It cameras are really to the preference Many on the board also felt that giving away money wasn’t nearly as comfortable to handle — Destyni Casares of the one using it. I personally do as some of the many Canon cameras not like using Nikon, but know many to the less fortunate wouldn’t be the best solution. I did use and it was rather strange to photographers who do. My advice to Half of the board expressed that it was much more angle when getting shots. I also found that functions and dials were much beginning photographers is to play with any brand until they found out beneficial to earn money than to have it given to faster to get to compared to Nikon which I felt I had to basicially navigate for themselves what their preference is. you. The other of the board argued that there wasn’t everytime I used it. Now many DSLR cameras can be bulky to handle, really a good reason to have the Powerball at all. If but I found the overall effect of a Canon in my hands to be much more Destyni Casares is the opinion editor for the University Journal.

In terms of the good the lottery does bring, the board did recognize how the lottery, as well as gambling, brings in business for many states.

However, do we know why they died? students to share their opinions. As students of SUU, everybody on staff in Utah’s favor, it wasn’t necessary as of now. The main reason they die is to defend our freedoms. The founding fathers claims that right to express their opinions as well. Most of the board agreed in the end that although laid these freedoms out in the Bill of Rights and one of the most important For me to tell my opinion editor not to run an opinion piece just ones, I think, is our freedom of speech. because I or other editors do not agree with it, and believe me, there gambling can bring in revenue, the activity can We, as Americans, have the right to say what we may and while there are some that have been published recently that I do not agree with, easily take a turn for the worse.
