Preventing Underage Play

What is Underage Play


Hoosier Lottery 18+


What Do We Do?
  • Explain that it is illegal to sell lottery tickets to minors and that the Hoosier Lottery is committed to preventing such purchases. 
  • Train our approximately 4,400 retailers across the state to ask players for identification before purchasing a ticket, as well as how to monitor the self-service vending machines found in many stores. 
  • Equip our retailers with the ability to shut off a self-service vending machine if a minor attempts to make a purchase. 
  • Display our Responsible Gaming Logo, which includes the “18 +” symbol as a reminder that players must be 18 or older to play. 
  • Promote the need to Gift Responsibly by only purchasing tickets as gifts for those 18 or older, at gift-giving opportunities year-round and during the holiday season. 


Why Is It Important?

Many teenagers try out different gambling activities, like poker, dice, Scratch-offs and sports betting.

Lottery is often perceived as a harmless or low-risk social activity for participants of all ages, and it is not unusual for parents to offer lottery tickets, especially Scratch-offs, to their children.

According to the International Centre for Youth Gambling Problems and High-Risk Behaviors, research shows that minors are at a greater risk of developing a problem with gambling than adults.

It's More Fun To Gift Responsibly

Looking for a fun, unique gift for an adult in your life?

Whether the holiday season, special occasions such as a birthdays or promotions, or on Valentine’s Day, tickets are a fun and thoughtful way to express your generosity.

Purchasing tickets for those under the age of 18 can put them at a greater risk for a gambling addiction. No matter the occasion, remember to always gift responsibly by giving from adults to adults.
