Legislation being proposed in the Florida House of Representatives that would put a warning on lottery tickets and would declare the lottery off-limits if Florida allows sports gambling. The legislation would require the words “Play responsibly” on the face of each ticket and be placed on all advertisements and promotions. The bill also would prohibit the use of electronic devices to play lottery games, forbid the Florida Lottery from conducting a game in which winners are chosen based on the activities or outcomes of sporting events and use $500,000 a year from a lottery trust fund for compulsive and addictive gambling programs. A Senate bill has not yet been heard in committee.
