Lotteries are a common form of gambling, with a small stake being bet for the very low probability of winning a very large amount of money, if the numbers a player chooses are selected by a random number picking device.  Lotteries are a major revenue source for governments.  In just one multi-state lottery in early 2012, there was about $1.5 billion spent on the "Mega Millions" lottery - money that was in part distributed to other players as prizes and in part supplied to fund education and senior citizens.<ref>http://www.jacksonsun.com/article/20120331/NEWS/303310014/Americans-spend-1-5B-Mega-Millions-tickets?odyssey=mod|mostview</ref>

Pathologic gambling has been variously described as "an impulse control disorder, a mood disorder, an obsessive-compulsive spectrum disorder, or a non-pharmacological addiction". Patients suffering this condition can be variously treated with "several medications, psychotherapies and attendance to Gamblers Anonymous". Pharmacotherapy includes Fluvoxamine and Clomipramine, both of which have been shown to be efficacious in clinical trials.<ref>{{cite journal|year=2000|title=Review of the Phenomenology, Etiology and Treatment of Pathological Gambling|journal=German Journal of Psychiatry|volume=3|issue=2|pages=37–52|issn=1433-1055|url=http://www.piramindwelt.com/Review%20of%20the%20Phenomenology,%20Etiology%20and%20Treatment%20of%20Pathological%20Gambling.pdf|author=Paula Moreyra, Angela Ibáñez, Jerónimo Saiz-Ruiz, Kore Nissenson, and Carlos Blanco}}</ref>
