Abstract
One basic economic issue concerning lotteries and other forms of gambling activities is Who participates, why, and much?1 In the litera ture, there are several competing hypotheses which give utility interpretations on the question why. These hypotheses also have their implications for the questions and how much.2 The purpose of this study is to establish some quantitative relationships between the consumer's demand for lottery tickets and his social, economic characteristics by analyzing a sample collected in the Baltimore area. These relationships will help us to test the alternative hypotheses on why people buy lottery tickets, and to identify the factors which determine who purchases lottery tickets and many tickets he purchases.
