Why do people waste time & money playing numbers/scratch-off tickets?

[Kane1]

Lady I worked with won $5000 on a scratch off right in front of me




I can see who winning can be a drug.....

I hit $200 on a $2 Break the Bank one time. I randomly buy a scratch off when I have a few dollars in my pocket.

Some of the proceeds support Texas education

People are addicted to the what if

My grandad won 10k off a scratch off second chance.

Hell he probably didn’t even buy that one. Probably picked it up off the ground.

Sure. My vice is alcohol. I have a great time sipping wine while making dinner and throwing back bottomless mimosas at brunch. Then I realize I spent $100 and added pounds to my waist line. I feel guilty and bad about myself but quickly forget when I get the invite to go out. It feels good to be tipsy. I think people buying scratch offs go through a similar line of thinking. I don’t know what your vice is but I know you have one. You probably think the same way. It’s human.

Playing scratch offs makes people feel good.

There are tons of YouTube vids of people just scratching tickets.

They're kinda satisfying. Like watching people squish stuff.

Because people actually win. I know of a couple people who won $1,000 a week for life shiits. nikkas spend $30 on weed and Food with no chances of winning shiit.

Your stomach is winning...

Guy at my job make 15 a hour and spend about 300 dollars a week on lotto.

That's crazy.

I'll play numbers on pay day and maybe twice a week after that.

I hit for 5g's last January on a 4 number and hit a few 3 numbers for 500 few more times last year

If you miss your number its where people get caught up chasing numbers..i stopped that..thats how you get caught up playing all your money thinking your number gonna come.

I'm not completely against playing scratch-offs (I once won $20 buying a $5 ticket), it's just that I find spending $25 on numbers to be overdoing it.

That buck that bought a bottle could've struck the lotto

I don’t even think an 18-19 year old Nas — in his conscious mind — fully understood the depth and gravity and layers to that one, single line .

wouldn’t be surprised if years later he looked back like ...
