      Lottery culture is insane now in my country, britain. I was raised to never engage in gambling but they now have lotteries you can enter for free and ones that your neighbours can enrol your neighbourhood in. In many ways, britain still tries to be capitalist HQ

        Is it insane? Never bought a lottery ticket and I don’t think my parents ever did either. I don’t think I know anyone who buys them on a regular basis, my partner sometimes gets a ticket when there is a big one? I don’t really know how it works but that is the impression I get anyway.

          Seems to be a lot of peope that do the postcode one, and the fact that it’s traditional lotto is so pushed in shops, and the fact it manages to keep rewards so high, suggests that a lot of people buy-in to it. Plus almost every neighbourhood high-street where I live has a betting house - I guess that’s an improvement though, because there used to be one for every neighbourhood.

            By any chance are you in a highly deprived area? Nicer places generally don’t have as many betting shops
