Reason 3: Accessibility
In many countries, lotteries are widely available and easily accessible, often operated by the government. Conversely, casino games may face restrictions or even be prohibited. This disparity in the treatment of different forms of gambling within a country can significantly influence public attitudes towards them. For people, products approved by the state are deemed acceptable, while anything that is prohibited tends to generate a negative perception.
What do you think? Why is there such a different attitude to gambling products and will it ever change?
Lottery to me is different from gambling. In gambling there's a wager. You make a pledge of something and then with a hope to winning which if you don't win whatever it was you pledged is gone. This is where people label gambling bad because some bet valuables and win or lose until they're addicted to doing it and then frustration sets in and that's why a lot of times people are told to stay out of gambling but lottery is not gambling and it doesn't include the wager. Many people do not consider lottery as gambling so they participate in it because one cannot get addicted to participating in the lottery.
