What's the funniest or weirdest reason you've heard someone give for buying lottery tickets?

The funniest reason I’ve heard was someone saying they bought a lottery ticket because they saw the same number everywhere that week and took it as a "sign." They joked that the universe was trying to tell them something. It reminded me that people often have their own little rituals or lucky beliefs when playing. I’ve seen the same kind of thinking with games like 7 lottery game too—some people pick numbers based on birthdays, dreams, or pure instinct, even though they know every draw is random.
