Demographics of Lottery Players

Who plays the lottery? Studies show that lottery players tend to be lower-income, less educated, and more likely to have other gambling habits. This is why the lottery is often called a "tax on the poor." Lottist provides free education to help people understand these statistics.

The odds of winning a major jackpot are astronomical. You're more likely to be struck by lightning, become a professional athlete, or be attacked by a shark. Lottist's "Imagine the odds" feature helps put these numbers in perspective.
