I buy a lotto ticket or two every few weeks. I use the money i’ve allowed for eating out. I’ve never spent more than I could easily afford and never when bills were tight.
Over the years i’ve spend maybe 10k on tickets and won around 1000 total.
But the few hours after I buy a ticket when im daydreaming about winning and my life is fixed and everything is perfect… You cant put a price on that peace of mind and happiness even though its fake.
Everyone gambles at some point, whether they do it on purpose or because society forces them.
You gamble every time you leave the house that an idiot doesn’t drive you over. The chances are just pretty good sometimes, so most people are fooled into thinking they’re in control of their lives.
As someone who doesn’t gamble I’d love to know how much commenters here have thrown away to it.
When you choose not to gamble you gamble on not gambling being better than gambling.
Though it is a safe bet.
on average, it is safer to not gamble

the only way to win big is to never play. You’ll be up a ton of money you never lost

When have you ever really been in control?
That’s not what people mean by gambling man. We are talking about fun games on chance not “oh no will I have a heart attack today”
