I heard stories from another aunt (one who wasn't related to the cousin) about how insane she was.
She would literally spend $3,000 to $5,000 at a time on scratch offs and lottery tickets of all kinds.. And maybe win a few hundred back that day. The next day however, she'd spend another three to five grand and this time hit a "jackpot' of $500.
Now in her mind, it didn't matter how much she spent the days prior to that $500 win, she was now up $500. She
won that $500, she
earned that $500. The thousands of dollars she spent winning it was all background noise. She was now up again, after all!
****ing sickening.
