The Wisconsin Lottery is partnering with various organizations to raise awareness about the risks of giving lottery tickets as gifts to minors during the holiday season. Research has shown that early exposure to gambling can lead to problems later in life. The 2024 Gift Responsibly campaign will run from December 1st to 31st, with Wisconsin joining over 80 lotteries worldwide in promoting responsible gambling. Wisconsin Lottery Director Cindy Polzin emphasizes the importance of responsible play and encourages both players and retailers to do their part in ensuring a safe and enjoyable gaming experience. Individuals struggling with gambling issues are encouraged to seek help through the Problem Gambling Helpline or online resources provided by the Wisconsin Council on Problem Gambling. The message is clear – lottery games are for adults, not kids, and it is important to be mindful of the potential risks associated with underage gambling.
