What does the Lottery do to promote playing responsibly?
The LLC is concerned about the issue of problem gambling. Toward that end, the Lottery includes the Department of Health and Hospitals’ problem gambling hotline number on all tickets, advertising, news releases and sales materials as well as periodically conducting “play responsibly” public service campaigns. In addition, $500,000 of the LLC’s annual proceeds transferred to the state are earmarked for problem gambling programs, as outlined in the Lottery’s statute.
