Our Commitment
Lotteries should be fun entertainment, not a source of financial stress. We encourage all players to treat lottery participation as a recreational activity and to play within their means.
Tips for Playing Smart
- Play for fun, not to make money: View any money spent on lottery tickets as a cost for entertainment.
- Set a budget: Decide in advance how much you are willing to spend and stick to it. Never spend more than you can afford to lose.
- Don't chase losses: It's a game of chance. Chasing losses will only lead to further losses.
- Keep it in balance: Ensure that playing the lottery does not interfere with your daily responsibilities, work, or social life.
- Know the odds: Understand that the odds of winning a major jackpot are very high.
