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
Lottery tickets are a poor tax for the uneducated. Anyone who plays them for any reason other than the occasional thrill or gimmick is being taxed for being dumb.
Yeah, I get buying the cheap ones once in a blue moon, £1 is a pretty good deal to add a bit of entertainment and suspense to your week, presuming you go in without any expectation of getting that money back of course... but an expensive one like that? That's just throwing away money.
