Tis the season for giving and putting smiles on the faces of our youth.  But the DC lottery has a reminder about lottery tickets and children.  It’s part of their Gift Responsibly Campaign. My guest is Peter Avarado – Regulation and Oversight Directorfor the Office of DC Lottery and Gaming

For more than 40 years, the DC Lottery has been a thread in the cultural fabric of the District of Columbia. Awarding  more than $4.4 billion in prizes to our players; transferring $2.3 billion to the District’s General Fund in support of essential city services and helping local nonprofits raise $136.5 million in support.
