Lotteries in neighboring states may influence each other in two ways. They may act as substitutes, stealing customers from each other, or they may serve as complements, increasing enthusiasm and awareness so as to boost total sales in both states. Empirical results conflict. Vrooman [1976] finds that lottery sales in New York State are enhanced by sales increases in neighboring states. More recently, however, Mikesell [1987] and Mikesell and Zorn [1987] conclude that per capita lottery sales are higher when one state borders others not offering a lottery. Vrooman examines lottery sales from 1967 to 1975, a period covering only the passive game. The substantial change in lottery operations since that time calls into question the current validity of his results. While more current, studies by Mikesell and later Mikesell and Zorn fail to distinguish between the different types of lottery games offered in neighboring states. Due to similarities in ticket price, expected value of a ticket and marketing, certain types of games in bordering states are quite likely substitutes. However, since lotto is a parimutuel game, the expected value of a ticket varies. Consequently, where contiguous states both offer the lotto game, experienced players may cross the border to play the neighboring lotto game as the expected value of a ticket increases. The purpose of this study is to test whether each of the three major types of lottery games act as complements or substitutes when offered in neighboring states
