Why do people keep buying them?
If they play every week for 5 years, 10 years or 20 years
you can work out how much they will spend
They could have saved up that money and done something useful with it..
Does anyone in here buy lottery tickets every week?

I hope you don't buy them every week..
If you only do it once a month and spend a small amount
Or less than once a month
I have seen people spending hundreds of dollars a week....not sure what they are thinking
