Ca Montreal its the popular cheap gift that makes a Lucky few Rich but some of Canadas biggest gaming commissions Are warning a lottery ticket can be a dangerous stocking stuffer. Loto Quebec the Atlantic lottery corp. And the Ontario lottery and gaming corp. Have teamed up with researchers at Mcgill University to urge parents to avoid giving their children lottery tickets As Christmas presents. Lottery tickets Are for adults not kids Olg spokesperson Don Pister said. There Are a lot of things we restrict to certain Ages in our society and this is one of them. The three gaming commissions have launched awareness campaigns aimed at warning parents about the perils of youth gambling. Lottery products Are often tempting gifts for Well meaning adults seeking to make an inexpensive impression on teenagers. Gambling experts caution though that such impressions can have devastating implications. Its really important for parents grandparents caregivers to realize that lottery tickets scratch cards and other lottery products Are inappropriate gifts for those who Are 18 and under said Alissa Sklar a senior researcher with Mcgills International Centre for youth gambling problems and High risk Behaviours. Mcgills researchers claim playing the lottery at a Young age can Lead to problem gambling. They Point to studies which suggest the younger children Are introduced to gambling the greater their risk of developing an addiction. It is illegal in most provincial jurisdictions for minors to buy or even Cash in tickets. But according to Sklar 30 per cent of children in Canada have received lottery tickets or scratch cards As gifts. The Canadian press lotto tickets bad gifts for kids parents told w whatever happened to giving someone a Scarf or a pair of mittens for Christmas there Are too Many cellphones and electronic music devices under the tree these Days As far As ism concerned. And plasma televisions. How do you get plasma into a television its gift inflation i Tell you. But i suppose its a Good thing to give people what they want and just knowing what they want is half the Battle. Imagine a Christmas when you know exactly what to get for everyone on your list and where to find it and it All fits with your gift buying budget. All you would have to do is go and get the items and wrap them. Sounds like a stress free Holiday season. I just used the words Battle and stress in reference to that time of year that is All about the meaning of Joy and Hope and Goodwill towards All. How can people get so stressed when theress so much fun and Joy around the answer is that they bring the stress upon themselves. I think it is the gift giving aspect of the season that causes people the most stress. Its not that they dont want to give gifts its just Tough to think of things that the recipient will really honestly like and not just say they like it to be polite and then put it away somewhere never to be seen again. Even if they use it As a pass along gift that still makes the giving worthwhile because it Means it was a help to them and they found it worthy of seeing the Light of Day and they did not mind being associated with it. The Only answer to gift giving stress is to Cut that gift list Way Way Back. If there Are children on your list yes of course get them gifts because the gift giving part of Christmas is All about kids. As for the adults on the list understand. Or get them easy to buy useful things such As a Scarf or a pair of mittens. Who do with another Scarf or a pair of mittens its not getting any warmer out there for awhile. And they make excellent pass along gifts. And the pennies that you save from cutting Back on your gifting can go to pennies from heaven. There Are people out there children and adults who needs those pennies More than the people on your gift list. In fact they need those pennies More than you will Ever know. You provide the pennies and we get them to the people who need them via the Christmas cheer Board and Winnipeg Harvest. You can drop your pennies off at the Winnipeg free press front reception at 1355 Mountain ave., and there Are numerous other drop off Points in the City.
