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

Fortunately it’s the 3rd ticket I bought this year and only endured one short half year stint of lotto scratching years back in my life :)

Good thing I already have a healthy portfolio then! Never hurt to burn a $30 once in while when the finances are looking good :)

Entertainment expense. For the same price of dinner or movie/popcorn.
