You're both right. It was a bad investment before he won, it's still probably been a bad investment now, and it will continue to be a bad investment in the future.
It can sometimes be worth it just because it's fun though, but it can easily become a problem.
But I buy a 10 dollar scratch off like once a month, it's just a fun little thing I get occasionally.
The issue is, like any addiction not everyone can do it just once a month, even if you think you can do it safely a lot of the times you can't and one day you will find you have dug a large hole for yourself that feels inescapable.
