I worked at a liquor store and saw people spend easily $10/day, and very often it was the same people every day.

I wonder how much lottery is like other (gambling and non-gambling) industries where so much of the revenue is from "whales."

Tangentially related: My younger brother works the counter at a gas station and the amount of money people drop on cigarettes and vape pods is mind boggling. He tells me $300 a month is not uncommon. A car payment.

Be careful which habits you form.
