Yep. I'll spend 8-16 bucks a month on lottery tickets. It's what I use spare cash left in my wallet for. It's not going to break the bank and I'm likely not going to win, but it's a nice pipe dream and where I live a decent amount of the money goes to the environment.
Playing the lottery is more paying for the fantasy of winning than actually expecting to.
It makes for some fun office chats, and worth a couple of extra bucks.
