The annual turnover of the commercial gambling market in Great Britain has in recent years been of the order of Bf46, generating Bf?7.3 net profit (before tax) for its operators.' The turnover figure includes the Bf4.8 spent on the National Lottery in 2001/02, which, since its launch in 1994, has generated around Bf 12 for the good causes specified in the National Lottery etc Act 1993.2 Including 12% Lottery Duty, betting and gaming duties amounted in 2001/2002 to Bf?1.44.3 A prevalence survey conducted in 1999, Gambling Behaviour in Britain, found that within the year preceding the survey, 90% of respondents had gambled at least once, and that more than half had gambled in the week preceding the interview.4 Extrapolated to the total adult population,5 this suggests that around 24 million people in Great Britain participate in one way or another in gambling in any one week. For both the 'past year' and the 'past week' gamblers, the single largest participation was in the weekly Lottery draw (65% and 47% respectively). For one in three of 'past year' and nearly two thirds of 'past week' gamblers, participation in the Lottery was their only form of gambling. One of the primary features of the present market is that there are no reliable publicly available pre-Lottery data about either the volume or the pattern of gambling behaviour in the British population. It is therefore impossible to assess the impact that the Lottery has had on consumers' gambling preferences.6 Within
