It’s not always about the money. Sometimes it’s the lies we are starting to tell the ones we care about most. Or the time it takes away from those we care about most-especially our children because we are so preoccupied with our phones or placing a bet. We gamble when we are working-we risk losing our job. Or when we are driving or with our children-and then our attention is not where it is supposed to be. Accidents can happen. Gambling can be harmful in many ways. It’s not just the casino. It’s the scratch tickets, lottery tickets, machines at the gas station or grocery stores, games on the phone and all the sports bets that are able to be made legally now. You can get hooked without being under the influence of any alcohol or drugs. If you need help, help is available at 1-800-GAMBLER or you can Text to 800 GAM. Learn all you can so you can gamble responsibly and have fun. #PGAM2025
