Colorado Lottery Holiday Reminder: Great Gifts for Grown-Ups

Give the gift of play – responsibly

DENVER (December 2, 2025) – The holidays are here, and gift shopping is in full swing! As you’re checking off your list, we—along with the National Council on Problem Gambling—want to remind everyone of one simple thing: Lottery games are for adults only.

While Scratch tickets might seem like a harmless surprise for kids or teens, research shows that early exposure to gambling can lead to problems later on. Choosing age-appropriate gifts helps keep kids safe!

This year, we invite you to take our Gift Responsibly Pledge. The pledge is a simple, online commitment to skip lottery gifts for anyone under 18—and to help spread the word. Plus, when you sign, you’ll be entered to win a sweet Lottery swag pack!

Let’s keep the holidays merry, bright, and safe for everyone. Take the pledge today and help keep lottery play fun and festive!
