"I've never bought a lottery ticket ever."

You and I share that trait. I have never been aware of a lottery with good enough odds for my liking.

Oops, I will admit to buy ten dollars worth once. It took me months to get reimbursed by my out of state friend who requested the purchase. If he had won, he might have been more eager to pay up.

I still find lotteries to be morally repugnant. It is a regressive from of taxation. Those who can least afford, pay a higher percentage of the lottery tax.
