Responsible Gaming
The Hoosier Lottery believes play should always be fun, entertaining and a positive part of your life. One of the best ways to ensure that is by setting a budget. A budget helps you enjoy lottery games as entertainment, while keeping your financial well-being a top priority.
When you set a budget, you create a clear plan for your spending. This ensures that essentials like housing, food and bills are always covered first. It also gives you peace of mind knowing that money set aside for entertainment, including lottery play, truly fits into your life. By planning ahead, you can keep play enjoyable, avoid overspending and balance your hobbies with other priorities.
A monthly budget also makes it easier to track your goals. You’ll know how much is available for everyday expenses, savings and fun activities, without worrying about stretching your resources too thin.
The Hoosier Lottery offers several tools to help you manage your play responsibly:
Outside of the Lottery, there are plenty of additional resources available. Banks and credit unions often provide budgeting programs and financial tools for their customers. Employers, universities and community organizations may also offer free or low-cost services. Even local libraries can be a great place to learn, with internet access, helpful staff and information on financial wellness programs.
Financial wellness is an important part of enjoying lottery games responsibly. By setting a budget, using the Lottery’s tools and taking advantage of the many resources available, you can make informed choices and ensure that play remains fun, affordable and positive.
