The lottery isn’t just a game—it’s a symptom.

Americans spent $113 billion on lottery tickets last year, more than movies, books, concerts, and sports tickets combined. That’s not entertainment—it’s desperation.

When central banks devalue money, wages don’t keep up, and saving feels pointless. People turn to gambling, hoping for a miracle just to stay afloat.

This isn’t financial illiteracy. It’s a broken system forcing people to take wild bets just to keep up.
