Not rich, but definitely more well off. As a one off thing, bought myself a scratch ticket and almost won somewhere around $20,000. Luck almost shined on me.

wdym almost? it's a scratch ticket, the chance of winning is tiny.

Slim chance, but for my first and only scratch ticket, being only one away from winning is pretty cool in my book.

You're always just one away from winning. What the ticket wins is decided first and then the symbols get printed accordingly in a way that makes it look like you were oh so close

I would guess that many tickets are "one away from winning", so that you keep playing.
