Question by : Would you consider this a gambling “problem”?
I’m 21 but my parents and fiancee hate the fact I spend a little of every fifth paycheck I get (all others go to expenses and house) but with every fifth paycheck that I call my personal one I buy a “California black” lotto scratcher. Is that an addiction or normal?

Thats barely even a habit your fine

Answer by Louise
An addiction is when u do ur utmost to for fill ur craving. If u were buying tickets left right and center and it affects u so much it damages ur daily life then it is an addiction. I do not think u have an addiction as ur are not spening all of ur pay cheques on gambling. I will say however u would be better off saving the money because u always spend more than u win, that’s a fact, if u didn’t then there wouldn’t be casinos
