BATON ROUGE – During the month of March, the Louisiana Lottery is joining the National Council on Problem Gambling (NCPG) and the Louisiana Association on Compulsive Gambling (LACG) in their efforts to encourage responsible play by observing National Problem Gambling Awareness Month.
“Educating players about the importance of playing responsibly is a top priority for the Louisiana Lottery,” said Lottery President Rose Hudson. “We support efforts to raise awareness of problem gambling, and to also ensure that those who need help know that it’s available and where to find it.”
The Lottery takes this effort seriously by distributing problem gambling awareness brochures in all of its retailer play centers; printing the problem gambling helpline number on all tickets, advertising, news releases and sales materials; and encouraging players to adhere to responsible play techniques throughout the year but especially during the national observance.
