Responsible Gifting
The Hoosier Lottery is again participating in the National Council on Problem Gambling’s “Gift Responsibly Campaign.” As a level 3 participant (the highest level of participation), the Hoosier Lottery is including tips on responsible gifting in all its holiday communications.
“All year long, we encourage players to keep play positive by setting a limit, knowing their game and keeping it fun,” said Taylor. “The holidays are the perfect time to also emphasize that Hoosier Lottery products should always be given to adults from adults.”
Research conducted by McGill University shows that the earlier a person’s participation or exposure to gambling is in childhood, the more likely they are to develop a gambling problem later in life. Gambling exposure during childhood is often through some kind of lottery product, such as lottery tickets or Scratch-offs. Often these items are given to a child by an adult who is unaware of the associated risks. The Hoosier Lottery reminds players to please gift responsibly by only giving Hoosier Lottery games to adults 18 years and older. Problem Gambling Helpline: 1-800-994-8448. Learn more here
