Lottery Tickets
As a whole, the Millennial generation are struggling financially. According to CNBC, 62 percent of Millennials report that they are living paycheck to paycheck. So some might think that a little gambling in the lottery might be beneficial for Millennials trying to score a large paycheck. But think again.
Millennials are looking at the odds of actually winning a large lottery windfall and deciding the gamble just is not worth it. In a Gallup survey in 2016, only about 33 percent of Millennials said that they played the lottery the year before. Over 61 percent of people from 50 to 64 said they had purchased a lottery ticket within the last year. So odds are that anyone who is a Millennial probably isn’t taking the gamble.
