But are they only "spending a few dollars a week on lottery tickets"? $645 a year comes out to a little over $12 a week on lottery tickets. I make more than $13k a year, and I'd notice $12 a week. Much more so if I was only making $13k/year. Lottery tickets are a dollar a piece, that's a lot of hope insurance.

Obviously, some people are spending just a few dollars a week, others are spending much more than that. Some people have a destructive pathological addiction, others have a moderate financial burden, and yet others have a relatively harmless diversion.
