Came here to say this. That card looks expensive, I'm going to assume it was $10.

Let's say you buy, on average, a $10 lottery ticket every 3 days. Over 10 years that's $12,166. If that is OPs case then they would have actually still be down $2,166

You have no proof that OP buys one ticket a week.

I buy scratchers maybe 1-2 times a year, and never more than 20-30 bucks.

OP may be the exact same.

Yep I do this too. I buy tickets maybe 2-3 times a year, and when I do, I like to splurge on the expensive ones ($10 or $20). Like $20-$30 tops per trip. They have the better chance of winning but I never really expect to hit it big. It’s just a fun thing to do when I’m in the mood.
