At first it will not be the same risk, but starting from 1 lottery and if he wins it will be the next big purchase.
It will continue to go on over time, and they could just become more addicted and think it's better to buy a lot of lotteries to give them more chances of winning.
The people who can be responsible for their purchases are those who can resist continuing to engage and further increase their interest in buying.
They will see how luck will side, or they will stop at just one purchase.
Well I have a friend who always buys a lottery ticket, a number, it's always the same number, it's 4 digits, of course if he wins it it would be the equivalent of like $700k, it's a lot of money, but he doesn't buy it in the country where we live, he goes to Colombia which is like an hour from where we live, and even if it's almost time to leave because the point that connects both countries closes, he buys that blessed ticket, every day let's suppose he wins the number 4586, and one day 4587 came up, that day he almost wins and almost celebrates big time, I don't know, but you could say that he has been very close to the jackpot, and that has motivated him more, I think that faith is that he doesn't mind continuing to spend money every day, I don't know, but I wouldn't say that he is addicted, but he is dependent on that lottery.
