Just a lottery ticket...a few hours at the racetrack...a quarter in a slot machine. It's fun. It's legal. And you just might strike it rich! As the number of lotteries and casinos skyrockets, you may wonder whether gambling might be an innocent pastime after all. Even if you never play, you can't escape the issues.

-Ten vital questions to help you make up your mind about gambling
