Virginia Lottery is reminding adults to gift responsibly this holiday season
It’s the time of gifts and gift-giving – and also the time to remember to gift responsibly. The Virginia Lottery and the Virginia Council on Problem Gambling (VACPG) are reminding everyone that lottery tickets are never an appropriate gift for anyone younger than 18. It is against Virginia state law to give lottery tickets to minors. To help get the message across to Virginians, the Lottery has produced a radio public service announcement (PSA) entitled “Scrooge” and is encouraging stations statewide to air it during December. The message is simple: While lottery tickets make a great gift for adults, they should not be given as gifts to people younger than 18.
