I wonder about this because I remember a few years ago playing a triple jackpot I dreamed of, in the old-school lottery, the one where you only bet on a number of 001:999, something similar to the Daily 3 or Pick 3 in the United States. I don't know if these types of games still exist today, but I clearly remember that the time I bet on that winning number was the first and last time I bet on that lottery. I know it was pure luck. Besides, the odds weren't unreasonable; 1/1000 is something that could happen.
For this same reason, despite having been very lucky that day, I never tried again. There was no stimulating factor that would lead me to try betting on that lottery again. So I assume the winnings don't constitute a large enough percentage of the stimulant to make someone become a gambler overnight.
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?
Playing the lottery is not like playing normal gambling games, I myself will never play the lottery again if by luck, I play it and win once, this is because before the win came, one must have played it for a very long time, so the winning is almost like a way to make up for all the money you have previously lost to the game, so when the win come, you feel if you continue to play, it will take you a long time again to win if at all you will even ever win again, so best thing is to quit at that very moment of the win.
This is not the same thing as playing slot and other gambling games like casino games and sports betting, a win in slot can cause the gambler to keep playing more because this is a very fast game, he or she feels he or she could win even more, it takes having a strong self control to not allow your winnings cause you to gamble more.
