Khalid Jones, Executive Director, Virginia Lottery films a spot for National Problem Gambling Awareness Month

I Had a blast filming our spot for National Problem Gambling Awareness Month. Responsible Gaming is not a buzzword, it's a perpetual North Star and we are proud to do our part. Thank you to the Virginia Council on Problem Gambling for all the work that they do here and the National Council on Problem Gambling for the guidance and support they give to us nationwide. hashtagresponsiblegambling hashtagsportsbetting hashtaglottery hashtagcasino hashtagproblemgambling
March is National Problem Gambling Awareness Month.

“National Problem Gambling Awareness Month provides us with an opportunity to highlight resources available to Virginians who might need support in how they engage with this form of entertainment. Our goal is to encourage healthy, informed choices among Virginians who choose to gamble," said
Khalid Jones, Virginia Lottery Executive Director.

We are marking National Problem Gambling Awareness Month by releasing a new public service announcement (PSA). The PSA, titled “Gym,” is being distributed in English and Spanish to broadcast media across Virginia. The PSA’s message focuses on the importance of knowing one’s limits and not playing beyond one’s means.

Take a look at English version of the PSA below.
