The mostly state owned largest bank (Banco do Brasil) did a "Black Friday" last week.

A bank. State owned. Doing Black Friday. In Brazil.

Plus all the raffles / lottery stuff that's just normal business. I agree with 100% preying is on another level.

My parents had mid/severe problem with lotteries, they kept saying god was going to make them win the lottery so they could pay off their debts and fix the car.

I remember when I found out that some months they were spending around 20% of their income on lotteries.
