No. Just a few scratch offs.

You seem to play that a lot, robby. I hope you aren't spending too much money on it. A little bit for fun is fine.

Odds are extremely high you will lose money in the long run and the lottery odds are way worse than games like blackjack or roulette at the casino. I think, if you played 100000 $1 games of scratch offs, you'd almost definitely end up with around $60000 (depending on the game) where with roulette you'd almost definitely end up with around $95000 (or maybe it's $92500; it depends on if there's a 00 slot).

Card games are hard

Poker does take skill to consistently do well.

Roulette is not a card game, wob. Nor is it a game of skill.

Card games are actually amongst the simplest skill-based gaming.

Blackjack, baccarat and poker will result in a 99%+ return to players
who spend a couple hours to perfect optimal strategy...

Well, poker is different than blackjack and baccarat.

But all three are far better than lottery scratch offs.

As is roulette. Roulette isn't as good as optimally played blackjack or baccarat, but still far better than scratch offs.
