Because the questions and methods were the same or similar in both surveys, the data from these two surveys were combined into a single dataset to examine the prevalence and sociodemographic correlates of gambling and problem gambling across the lifespan. The present work focused specifically on gambling on the lottery which is the most prevalent form of gambling in the U.S. The frequency of gambling on the lottery increased sharply from mid adolescence to age 18 which is the legal age to purchase lottery tickets in most states; lottery play continued to increase into the thirties when it leveled off and remained high through the sixties and then decreased among those 70years and older. Considering multiple sociodemographic factors together in a negative binomial regression, the average number of days of lottery gambling was significantly predicted by male gender, age, neighborhood disadvantage and whether or not lottery was legal in the state where the respondent lived. These findings can be used to inform policies regarding lotteries in the U.S. Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, 2010 Gambling nationallicence Lottery nationallicence Youth nationallicence Adults nationallicence Lifespan nationallicence Barnes Grace Research Institute on Addictions, University at Buffalo, The State University of New York, 1021 Main Street, 14203, Buffalo, NY, USA aut Welte John Research Institute on Addictions, University at Buffalo, The State University of New York, 1021 Main Street, 14203, Buffalo, NY, USA aut Tidwell Marie-Cecile Research Institute on Addictions, University at Buffalo, The State University of New York, 1021 Main Street, 14203, Buffalo, NY, USA aut Hoffman Joseph Research Institute on Addictions, University at Buffalo, The State University of New York, 1021 Main Street, 14203, Buffalo, NY, USA aut Journal of Gambling Studies Springer US; http://www.springer-ny.com 27/4(2011-12-01), 575-586 1573-3602 27:4<575 2011 27 10899 https://doi.org/10.1007/s10899-010-9228-7 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI 1 research-article jats NATIONALLICENCE 856 40 https://doi.org/10.1007/s10899-010-9228-7 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Barnes Grace Research Institute on Addictions, University at Buffalo, The State University of New York, 1021 Main Street, 14203, Buffalo, NY, USA aut NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Welte John Research Institute on Addictions, University at Buffalo, The State University of New York, 1021 Main Street, 14203, Buffalo, NY, USA aut NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Tidwell Marie-Cecile Research Institute on Addictions, University at Buffalo, The State University of New York, 1021 Main Street, 14203, Buffalo, NY, USA aut NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Hoffman Joseph Research Institute on Addictions, University at Buffalo, The State University of New York, 1021 Main Street, 14203, Buffalo, NY, USA aut NATIONALLICENCE 773 0- Journal of Gambling Studies Springer US; http://www.springer-ny.com 27/4(2011-12-01), 575-586 1573-3602 27:4<575 2011 27 10899 Metadata rights reserved Springer special CC-BY-NC licence nationallicence BK010053 XK010053 XK010000 NATIONALLICENCE NATIONALLICENCE NL-springer
