With the Mega Millions jackpot now at $330 Million for Tuesday night’s drawing, many Arkansans are talking about the Lottery and thinking about playing. As you do your thinking, the Arkansas Lottery Commission has some suggestions:
· Remember that it’s only a game—trying to change your financial status is not a good reason to play.
· Hope to win, yes! Expect to win, no!
· Never spend more than you can afford. Use discretionary cash only.
· Be sure you don’t allow or encourage play by minors.
· Play for fun, and enjoy daydreaming about what you’d do with $330,000,000
The odds of winning any prize at all are about 1 in 40, and the chance of winning the jackpot is 1 in 95 million.
If you or someone you know has a gambling problem, help is available by calling 1-800-522-4700 or by visiting www.ncpgambling.org or Gamblers Anonymous at www.gamblersanonymous.org.
