Gambling is just like any other vice. As long as it’s done in moderation I don’t see the issue. Everyone here has a vice of some sort and spends money that others would deem wasted in their eyes. If people enjoy it and do it responsibly who are you to judge someone else?
Everybody here talking crap about people that buy lotto tickets are out buying video games or exercise gear or your pog collection or whatever.
I don’t see the difference.

So what? It’s just a dollar. It’s not about the mathematical chance to win everyone knows the odds. But saying it isn’t possible to win is a lie.
The chances are low but people do win. There’s a difference between playing it for fun and being addicted to gambling.
To me spending $2 on a lotto ticket is better for you than buying a candy bar or soda.
My dad won $300,000 playing the lotto a couple years ago. He doesn’t spend tons on it he buys a ticket with change from going to the store. He’s retired and enjoys it what’s the harm?
The same people mad at people playing the lotto go spend $50 a weekend drinking. Everyone has a vice as long as you manage it I don’t see the issue.

Cable guy here. Call the cable company and make a service appointment. ask the tech to relocate your modem for you.
Most cable companies don’t charge for service calls.
