    AFAIK lotteries are not as addictive as faster games because of the delayed gratification from having to wait for the weekly draw. Things like slot machines or sports betting or poker is instant gratification and this more addictive. If you do it online or with an app it becomes ridiculously convenient and addictive.

      I'm sure those things are more addictive, but people who can't even afford to GO to the casino are targeted by lotteries. Listen to the CN, Ho_Chi_Chungus linked it below.

      It's very fucked up, IIRC, one of them put up a billboard explicitly advertising itself as the only way out of living and dieing in poverty at one point.
