Lottery Reminds People Not to Buy Lottery Tickets for Kids

With the holidays upon us, New Jersey Lottery officials are warning folks to not buy lottery tickets for anyone under 18. It's against the law - and, it's a bad practice.

Lottery officials say several studies have found that "early exposure to gambling leads to future problem gambling habits. "

So, resist the urge to add them to your kids' stockings. Save the scratch off gifts for adults.

By the way, the holidays will be a lot nicer for someone who manages to hit the big prize in the lottery's Powerball game. As of this writing, the current Powerball jackpot stands at $930 Million!
