What exactly is there to enjoy about a scratch ticket beyond the hope of winning?

- HWR_14 4y ago> What exactly is there to enjoy about a scratch ticket beyond the hope of winning? There's "buying it for the adrenaline rush of possibly winning, and scratching it hoping to win" and "buying it because you're due/you feel lucky/you really need the money". As long as you are buying the thrill of the chase and the occasional great feeling of winning, you're fine. It's an experience and comes out of that mental budget. If you're buying it because you really want or believe that $500 from the scratcher is coming to buy your baby new shoes, it's an issue. I hope that makes some sense. Basically, do you understand your EV is negative/realistic odds of winning are negligible but are buying it anyway?
