editorial.

Center for
Public Policy Survey of Texas Lottery Players Finds Steady Participation
|
The primary goal of the Center for Public Policy's
(CPP) demographic study
for the Texas Lottery Commission is to provide a snapshot of who is most likely
to engage in the state's lottery games. The 2008 survey marks the second
consecutive year the CPP has completed the study. Led by Dr. Timothy Hellwig, the 2008 results were
similar to many of the 2007 findings, with a few exceptions. "The 2008 survey
found an overall participation rate of 38.82 percent compared to 38.47 percent
the previous year," said CPP Director Jim Granato. "This stable rate of
participation marks the first time in recent years that the participation rate
did not decline." Read the
media release about the CPP
Survey of Texas Lottery Players. Learn more by reading the
2008 report. If you want
to compare the last two year's findings, review the
2007 report. |
