No, scratch off lottery tickets are not a tax on the poor. That's because anyone over 18 or 21 depending on the state can buy a scratch off ticket. No one is forced to buy a ticket and so a poor person has a choice. If they do choose to buy a ticket, then their dollar becomes a voluntary tax. One other thing to consider is that buying lottery tickets is gambling. Gambling is an addictive activity. It is conceivable that a poor person with a gambling addiction may be compelled by the disease to buy tickets and that could be construed to be a involuntary tax on the poor. But that's a real stretch.
