Lots of people have a lottery ticket mentality in life. It is actually sad and a little pathetic. People think that getting rich is easy or that they can just luck their way into riches. Life just doesn’t work that way and the people who try end up losing all their money and being miserable. If you want riches, work for it. Trying to get it easily will cost you.

Yes, I still remember one of my dad's friend, who he can't contradict in front because his friend will go against the odds and look for the underdog let's say in a horse racing. But then when you compute all the money that he had lost because of that mentality and then one or two underdog wins, then it is still not enough. But most likely I do agree that most of us might have this kind of thinking, however, I don't know if it is bad or not. There could be argument that it might be good to try it from time to time. But it might not be a smart strategy in the long run as you will really end up losing a lot of money. Might be better though to being smart most of the time and then have the lottery ticket if you just feel like scratching that itch from time to time.
