The UK gambling industry in numbers:

According to the most recent results from the Taking Part Survey, conducted by the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport, 44 per cent of respondents reported playing a National Lottery game over the last 12 months (from April 2019 - March 2020), with the most popular lottery games being the Lotto (71 per cent) and the EuroMillions (60 per cent).

The most common reason for playing the lottery was in the hopes of winning the jackpot on offer (67 per cent cited this as a reason), while 24 per cent reported playing because it supports a good cause, and a further 24 per cent reported that they play because it's easy to do so.

People aged 45-64 played the lottery the most, with over half agreeing they had played in the last 12 months. Those aged 16-24 were, on the other hand, the least likely to play the lottery with only 21 per cent saying they had played.
