I'm sure there are 100 things you spend money on that we could say the same for.

Jesus, people act like it's impossible to play the lottery without ruining your life.

It's possible to do hard drugs and not ruin your life too, but I wouldn't suggest it.

But you can appreciate that some do it without ruining their life right?

It doesn't make them good by any means. But people have done drugs and had good lives afterwards, just like playing the lottery.

You can stop any time and prove them wrong

I don't play the lottery at all.

I just don't also think that everyone who does is financially irresponsible.
