Abstract
This study compared the results of a survey of lottery use administered to a sample of 1009 from the general population with a survey of 288 marketing students at a state university. Contrary to other research on the validity of samples of students, students' attitudes, game preferences, and reasons for play were similar to those of the general population.Keywords
