Greetings! Recently I also asked myself this question and looked for information on this topic, re-read a bunch of articles and discussions on the forums, I often came across such discussions and disputes. Found the most suitable article in my opinion top reasons why do people play the lottery, it describes a fairly suitable justification for this question, and not, as always, superficially answered and that's it!
