I worked at a grocery store through high school, and there were people who would spend $25-50 on scratch-off lottery tickets almost every week, immediately re-spending the occasional $5 winner on...more tickets. I'm sure the details vary from state to state (this was in Michigan), but the scratch-off tickets probably get most of the money from poorer gambling addicts.
