Today, my mother informed me that we are no longer taking my graduation trip to New York. Instead, she and her group of continuously drunk friends are going to Vegas because, "We could win the jackpot and take you on an even bigger trip to New York!" She's never won anything in her whole life. FML

Hopefully she'll forget this idea when she sobers up. I mean, I hope she's drunk. This is not a rational idea.

There's always a first time! Look on the bright side...

Ironically, you are getting a degree in statistics & probability, yet you can't convince your mom she'll lose all her money in Lost Wages, NV.

Hopefully she will come to her senses and take you on that trip to New York! It's a really nice place here!

First time for anything...never know they could hit millions...

Technically she won the lottery by being born.... *shrugs

I'm sorry OP. That must hurt. It's sad that your mother seems to be prioritizing having fun with her friends over holding her promise. Funny part I feel like she knows it's messed up but is trying to justify it in her head by thinking she could win it big and make it up to you. Maybe you could get a group of friends together who could all chip in and ya'll could go together instead. It might even be more fun that way anyway
