You ever look at someone and think, damn, they must have all the luck in the world? Of course you do. You have Insta. In the age of social media, where celebrities and super successful people can share their daily lifestyles, it can seem like some people are just hogging up all the good luck that exists in the universe. And maybe it's true. Maybe some people do have all the luck.
Maybe we spend a little too much time and a little too much energy thinking about and worrying about those very fortunate and privileged people.

You can tell who they are because they're usually buying lottery tickets.
