Any form of gambling can shift from harmless fun to something that negatively affects you or someone you care about.

Some of the key warning signs to look out for include:

• Spending more money, time or energy on lottery games than you have in the past.
• Using lottery games as a distraction from any problems being experienced in life.
• Feeling guilt, shame, regret, anxiety, stress, or increased disappointment when making lottery purchases.
• Playing with the aim of winning back the money lost on a previous purchase.
• Lying about or hiding lottery play from family or friends.
• Reducing what you spend on other important things to pay for lottery purchases.

If you recognise any of the signs above, it may be time to put controls in place or seek support.
