I think it must be an accumulation of stimulating factors that make certain types of bets seem attractive to us, based on our personal tastes.
What do you think?
I would take it that lottery isn't your thing, else you would've returned to chase your luck even more starting from that very day you won.
Having a great win stimulates not only the person who secured the wins, but any other person around him, especially if you tasted the winning money with the gambler

I had a friend who detested gambling and always advised me against it. Boom, one day I won about $900+ and pleaded with him to accompany me go get the funds which he agreed and we went, claimed the money and I gave him around $20 tip. Long story cut short, within a little while he started developing interest until he even gambles more than me and we were addicted at the same time.
He keeps blaming me that the tip I gave him that night bewitched him and stimulated him to start gambling, something he detested earlier
