Lottery: playing or gambling?

Sir, – In the article “Game on: Lottery’s online sales strategy paying off” (Business, August 3rd), the word “play” appears five times, the word “players” three times and the word “playing” twice. The words “gamble”, “gamblers” and “gambling” don’t appear at all. I wonder why not. – Yours, etc,
