“Lottery games are just that -- games. Lottery games are designed to be enjoyable entertainment for adults, and for the vast majority of lottery players, that's exactly what they are. Multi-State Lottery members sell lottery tickets for the benefits of their citizens, raising millions of dollars for worthy causes and projects.
“The Multi-State Lottery Association encourages all lottery players to be responsible in their amount of play. Never spend more than you can afford on any lottery product. Please remember, it's just a game.
“The Multi-State Lottery Association supports the efforts of the National Council on Problem Gambling to provide help for persons who may have a gambling problem. If you or someone you know has or might have a problem, please call 1-800-522-4700 for help or visit the National Council on Problem Gambling website at www.ncpgambling.org if you would like additional information on how to get help.
