Meanwhile, the lottery is urging New Yorkers to gift responsibly, saying, “scratch-off games are not for children.” The New York State Gaming Commission’s Division of Lottery is joining lotteries and public health organizations around the world to raise awareness about the risks of gifting lottery tickets to children. The campaign is organized by the National Council on Problem Gambling (NCPG) and the International Center for Youth Gambling Problems and High-Risk Behaviors at McGill University.

 

“No matter the occasion, the New York Lottery’s scratch-off games are not appropriate gifts for children,” said gaming commission chair, Brian O’Dwyer. “This holiday season, we remind players that lottery games should be gifted only by adults to adults.”

 

His comments were echoed by Keith Whyte, NCPG executive director, who said, “Youth problem gambling has emerged as a significant and growing public health issue.” Whyte added, “We applaud the New York Lottery’s commitment to raising awareness about risks of youth gambling through the Gift Responsibly campaign. Our message is a simple one: lottery tickets are never appropriate gifts for children.”

 

The lottery’s support of the 2022 Gift Responsibly initiative consists of radio and TV public service announcements produced by the agency’s marketing partner, McCann New York, social media posts, in-store signage, and targeted retailer training.

 

Lottery officials say The New York Lottery is committed to providing players with a range of fun, entertaining games in a socially responsible manner.
