I have some buddies who live paycheck to paycheck whom I would consider middle class that are also chasing the dream......Lotto and scratch offs,mostly scratch offs....And these guys aren't buying $1.00 tickets.Crazy the amount of money these guys spend,considering the odds of winning anything significant.
