Why play a losing game? Study uncovers why low-income people buy lottery tickets
Although state lotteries, on average, return just 53 cents for every dollar spent on a ticket, people continue to pour money into them - especially low-income people, who spend a larger percentage of their incomes on lottery tickets than do the wealthier segments of society. view more (2008-07-25)
