It’s terrible they start it out small then it becomes this all encompassing thing with ads everywhere , online play , in every store and then kiosks for it.
They also tune it to be addicting and research how to get you to pay more .
It’s so alluring to think you could solve all your problems by hitting a million or more but the odds are so bad it’s unlikely even if you played everyday you would ever win anything g like that .
The human brain has trouble understanding the kind of numbers in those odds and how bad it really is.

I knew a guy locally that won the Megabucks twice. This was back in the 90s though.
I grew up watching my parents waste so much money on scratch tickets, lottery tickets and casino visits. They should have saved for college instead.
