Yaaa, I play once in a while but it is the worst gamble there is in gambling. Payout is around 50% of intake.
I used to own a Party Store with a Lotto machine. It was surprising how many people are totally addicted to Lotto games and scratch offs. We had a lady that worked for the Post Office (made good money) and used to spend an average of 80-100 per day on Bingo scratch off tickets.
One day she received her yearly Christmas bonus of over 800 dollars. Next day she showed up and spent about 1500 dollars on instant tickets till she was broke. Her car had about 1" of that scratch off crumbs on the floorboard of her front seat.
Many others had a 3 and 4 digit daily habit. Many as high as $100 per day.
Saw many many people spend their weekly earnings on trying to get lucky.
What a shame.
