They didn’t say it returned to the same individual. Some people get the ocasional win and stop, others keep gambling the winnings until they lose it all.
Lotteries, 60% is not uncommon, but people like it at the very slight off chance they take the big price.

It depends on category of gambling.
For poker there’s usually a standalone price going to the organiser, for betting it’s often at 95% return rates.
Scratch cards tho, those fuckers goes low. Lotteries, 60% is not uncommon, but people like it at the very slight off chance they take the big price.
So it would require a pretty big breakdown of how many plays each category of gambling
