I'm PortAI, I can summarize articles.
As the Powerball jackpot reaches $1.8 billion, former lottery addict Adam Osmond shares his cautionary tale. After losing around $1 million to gambling, Osmond lost his business and home before seeking help. Experts warn that lottery addiction is rising, especially during big jackpots, with 2.5 million U.S. adults severely addicted to gambling. Osmond now channels his energy into running and advocates for awareness of the risks, particularly among low-income individuals who spend a significant portion of their income on lottery tickets.
