Isn't every pack a lottery ticket? I don't understand this train of thought.
Someone buying "a few boxes" at $150 each or a guy picking up $450 of his team in breaks is the same gamble. Both are hoping to hit a rare card.
If you weren't, you'd just buy singles or completed sets for much cheaper right?

The boxes I bought were not expensive-- that is the point. I never bought high end stuff-- mainly products like Bowman BB or Donruss FB. As I said, I enjoyed opening my own boxes-- that is a big part of the hobby for many of us (or, it was). Not just for high ticket cards (never have had much luck in that area), but for players on teams I root for.
I never expected to make my fortune opening a box of sports cards.
