Play Smart. Gift Smart.

Education is the greatest gift of all

Looking to squeeze onto the nice list this year? We gotchu! You already know that lottery games make great gifts for almost everyone… Neighbor? Yessir. Favorite barista? You betcha. How ‘bout the kids? How ‘bout no.

Adults can enjoy the lottery and still remember to set limits for their play, a skill kids haven’t quite gotten a handle on yet. Research shows that the earlier a person’s exposure to gambling occurs (especially if that happens in childhood), the more likely they are to develop a gambling problem later in life.

So what’re you gonna do about it? Easy. Keep lottery tickets away from kids under age 18, including tickets that are already scratched.

The Play Smart Gift Smart supply drive is now closed so thanks to everyone who participated! The winners for each region are listed below.
