"I think the question of increased criminal activity, the question of whether or not you create compulsive gamblers really is something that we need to think about in terms of putting a lottery in place in North Carolina and what can you do about those sort of things, or are those things just by-products that you just accept," said Senate Majority Leader Phil Berger.
Although I do not think that most people that play the lottery are compulsive gamblers, especially for those that this is their only gambling. BUT, I have met many problem gamblers who play the lottery to excess along with their other games. I met one person who had over 2 inches of that little gray junk from the scratch tickets on the floorboard of her car before she stopped. Lotteries are gambling just like any other form of gambling to a certain percentage of people.
