😂 Actually, my uncle is one of the most responsible people I've ever known. But he does have a love and weakness for gambling. Can't say he's the type who would spend all his money, savings, house, etc on gambling, or lose it all to gambling. I just noticed that he can't help but buy scratch-offs whenever he sees them, the new tickets always get to him.. and he thinks there's a trick to buying them, like you need to either buy a whole bunch of them in the same row, your chances will be better than if you buy one of all different tickets.
I've just never understood it because gambling never appealed to me. But you can bet in his birthday cards we always know to put some scratch-off lottery tickets. He prefers that over anything else, so his birthdays are always pretty easy. 😜
