Lottery Tickets 

While we all hope (therefore try) to win the lottery someday, you have more chances of being struck by lightning or becoming the next U.S. president. That’s literally the truth. Now, if you’re a regular lottery player, think about how many dollars you spend on lottery tickets in a year.
