Florida Lottery "Play Responsibly" Campaign
Florida Lottery games are designed to be a fun, low-cost form of entertainment with
the added benefit of helping to support education. While most of our players enjoy the
fun and entertainment of playing our games, for some, gambling of any kind can be a
problem.

considered problem gamblers, the Florida Lottery is committed to responsible gaming
practices and programs to minimize any possible adverse social impacts of Lottery operations
in Florida.

GAMBLERS ANONYMOUS
GA is a fellowship of men and women who share their experience, strength and hope with
each other that they may solve their common problem and help others to recover from a
gambling problem.
The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop gambling. There are no dues or fees
for Gamblers Anonymous membership; we are self-supporting through our own contributions.
Gamblers Anonymous is not allied with any sect, denomination, politics, organization or
institution; does not wish to engage in any controversy; neither endorses nor opposes any
cause. Our primary purpose is to stop gambling and to help other compulsive gamblers do the
same.
