Years ago at a holiday gathering with various extended family types, I was given some lottery tickets. Ick. The “giver” was eager to know if she er I had won anything. Fortunately not. Her attachment to the “gift” was weird. I would have promptly handed her any winning ticket so as not to partake in the creepy head game.

Not knowing the person, I can just imagine if you had won a couple of hundred bucks while she may say she wants/wanted nothing, the general course of conversation next 2,000 meetings the subject of “I gave him .... and he didn’t really share it or thank me properly”...
So, you are correct, don’t give ‘em, don’t take ‘em.
Only a ‘gambler’ would see my true meaning in this statement.
“I won’t play the Lottery till it gets around 200 mil cause I don’t want to ‘waste my luck’ on a 20 or 30 million dollar win.”
Only fair to tell you that there was a time when I would bet on which fly landed on the wall first, then back it up with which one would take off first.
Granted most bets like that are a ‘push’ but it is ‘action’.
Was so bad that on Mon AM when the local radio station would play the National Anthem at 10AM I would call my bookie..... ha....
