Wider experience of lottery games

Looking at experience over the last 12 months, just under one in ten 11 to 17 year olds (7 percent) have played a lottery game; typically, National Lottery scratchcards (6 percent). Just 2 percent had experience of National Lottery draws games and only 1 percent had played National Lottery online instant win games in the same time period. In this context, ‘experience’ could mean getting involved with picking lottery numbers or scratching off the numbers on someone else’s ticket or card, as discussed in the next section.
