When I was in Oklahoma last year, I noticed when I was walking around the hallways of the casino that there were pamphlets about gambling addiction and that you can request to be added to the "do not admit" state list.
They should extend that to lottery tickets. Now, that doesn't stop someone from asking a friend to buy one, but it helps.
StephenCampbell, you have an addiction. You'e said it's the second time that this has come back, so yes, you should seek some professional help like everyone here is saying.
I used to know a family who struggled a lot. They too would buy loads and loads of lottery tickets, because even a $50-100 win would be beneficial for them. The first time I went to a casino, some guy was begging the machine for some rent money.
Gambling is a recreational sport, not something you rely on for extra income. If you can't afford to lose, then don't play.
