The Hoosier Lottery is participating in Responsible Gaming Education Month in September, an initiative of the American Gaming Association to promote responsible play. For the Hoosier Lottery, a recipient of World Lottery Association (WLA) Level 4 Certification for upholding the highest level of responsible gaming, this serves as a continuation of responsible gaming education and awareness.

Responsible Gaming Education Month promotes gaming literacy, consumer education and elevated employee training to advance the understanding of responsible gambling.

The Hoosier Lottery encourages positive play by providing many free online resources at HoosierLottery.com, including a Track Your Play Calculator to help players track their spending and an educational Positive Play video library. The website also features a Positive Play Quiz where players can gauge their positive play.

From Sept. 16-23, the Hoosier Lottery will hold a social media giveaway in which players can follow the Hoosier Lottery on either Facebook or Instagram and then comment on the giveaway post. Five players will be randomly drawn to receive a Hoosier Lottery Positive Play Prize Pack valued at more than $200.

“For 35 years, the Hoosier Lottery has been committed to responsible gaming and promoting a positive playing experience,” said Hoosier Lottery Executive Director Sarah M. Taylor. “Playing Hoosier Lottery games is fun and entertaining for most players, but some can experience gambling-related harms. We urge all players to use the resources on our website to help them keep play positive by making sure they play for fun, understand the odds and set time and money limits.”

The Problem Gambling Helpline is available by dialing 1-800-994-8448, texting INGAMB to 53342 or clicking the Chat Now link at the top of any Hoosier Lottery webpage.
