Responsible gambling means keeping the game in perspective, limiting your involvement so that it doesn't negatively affect your job, mood, finances, relationships or self esteem.

Gambling is not child's play. You must be 18 years old to buy or cash CT Lottery tickets. Lottery tickets are not suitable as gifts for minors.

If you or someone you know has a gambling problem, call the 24-hour confidential Problem Gambling Helpline: 1-800-346-6238
