It's a stupidity tax, basically.

Really wish I could have back every dollar my parents spent on lottery tickets over the course of their lifetimes, go back in time, and drop it all in stocks instead.

TBF, if your parents did the stock investment themselves, it's pretty likely that they would have lost most of it, too. Still better chances than the lottery, though.
