Why do old people love gambling?

[Forever A Loner]

Weather it be casinos or lottery tickets, why do they gambling so much?

I associate lottery tix and especially scratchers more with trashy poor people than old people. Now sitting at a casino wasting the day away pulling at a slot machine would be more of an old white boomer thing.

You know that thing, where as you grow older your taste buds die off and you end up eating things you never thought you’d eat as a kid?
Same idea, but with actually feeling something.

This. The boomers have drained so much wealth that they have nothing better to do with it than throw it down the drain. Boomers, Big Chief Red Horse and the Quartawhiskey tribe thank you for your service.

Do you really want to leave all your money to your shitty children?

Boomers as a whole have addictive personalities. Gambling is to them what the modern internet is to millennials and zoomers. Ergo, Boomers can't go one minute without a rush of dopamine in the jackpot.

something my godfather told me is that being retired is boring. VERY boring.

you lose the purpose you had in life and now what are you gonna do? i could honestly imagine why people in that age choose to do stupid stuff for the thrills.
