That is where I am leading. I do not play in the lottery, but one sees the advertisements. It is online focused. One can play on one's smartphone at the top of Mount Everest. I get the message in PLI's advertisements, but what about the dangers posed by gambling? The problems are significantly larger in online rather than offline gaming? Is PLI funding anything to combat them? Obviously, a little message on the bottom of the screen does not have an impact.
