CHATTANOOGA (AP) — The Tennessee lottery’s budget includes no money for gambling addiction education or treatment. And some critics say that could cause problems down the line.
Legislators didn’t earmark money for such programs, but lottery officials say they will be committed to promoting safe gaming among players.
Spokesman Will Pinkston says the lottery will use the words “Play Responsibly” on a lot of information, and will put links to national gambling addiction programs and resources on its Web site when it launches next week.
But the director of the National Council on Problem Gambling calls the state’s attitude a travesty, saying the Tennessee lottery is going “backward in time” by not promoting gambling education.
So, someone is upset that we’re not funding help for gambling addiction?
