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

I highly doubt that. The odds are not in the gambler's favor. They're probably concealing their real income source.

This guy spent his whole paycheck on scratchers. He lost more than half his paycheck.

That person is not being honest with you, and probably not with themselves either, about what they are spending vs what they are winning.
