True.
Gambling (including lotteries) is not a reliable way to build wealth — the odds are heavily against players, expected returns are negative, jackpots are extremely unlikely (e.g., Powerball odds are on the order of hundreds of millions to one), and taxes/fees can erode winnings. Treat gambling as entertainment, not an investment. Reliable ways to build wealth are regular saving, investing with a diversified portfolio, contributing to retirement accounts, and paying down high‑interest debt.
