I related to this 💯%. My mom has always been a compulsive lottery ticket buyer and she was always in debt. One day I did a rough calculation on how much money she spent on tickets from my birth until I turned 30 and it was ~$90K. The amount is likely higher because she had the same habit with my brother who is 12 yrs older than me.

My calculation was a combination of daily lottery ticket purchases and the occasional scratch tickets. I averaged $8 per day based on some weekly habits I remembered and the remaining as scratch tickets.
