California Lottery Scratchers

The California Lottery has issued a reminder to consumers as the holiday shopping season approaches, advising shoppers not to gift lottery tickets, specifically Scratchers, to individuals under 18 years of age. Carolyn Becker, a spokesperson for the California Lottery, stated, «Our holiday-themed Scratchers are meant to bring fun, but they are not suitable – or legal – for kids.»

The lottery agency emphasizes the illegality of gifting Scratchers to minors, citing studies that show early exposure to gambling can result in future gambling-related issues. To address this concern, the California Lottery operates a network of over 23,000 retailers that are tasked with ensuring compliance with these regulations.

To uphold the law, the California Lottery conducts undercover operations aimed at preventing illegal sales to minors. These checks are in place as part of the Lottery’s commitment to protecting youth from the potential harms associated with early gambling exposure.
