Be mindful of gambling problem this season

BAKER CITY – The holiday season is here and with it comes gifts for people of all ages. Occasionally those gifts are lottery tickets. While gifts like this can be fun adults, it is important to not purchase lottery for those under 18.  

According to the Baker County Safe Communities Coalition, “Early gambling experiences, including those with lottery tickets, are a risk factor for later gambling problems.”
