Research notes
Drafted by Claude (Claude Code) on 2026-10-28 for #130 from the sources listed; unreviewed, including the cardSummary. Lottery-sponsored (the state lottery is a gambling operator as well as a state agency). Channel 'tv' assumes the PSA aired as a video spot; the report doesn't name outlets. Helpline figures (21,983 calls in 2025, up 39%) are from the report; check. The Lottery also launched a consumer protection campaign in October 2026 on online limit-setting tools and unregulated sites (12 On Your Side, not opened).
