• Borrowing money or using credit to purchase lottery tickets

• Neglecting work, family, or personal responsibilities due to lottery activities

• Feeling anxious, depressed, or irritable about lottery participation

• Chasing losses or believing you can win back money lost

• Hiding lottery participation from family members or friends

• Experiencing relationship problems due to lottery spending

16.3. Seeking Help

If you or someone you know exhibits signs of problem gambling or gambling addiction, professional help is available. We encourage you to seek assistance from:

• Mental health professionals and counselors

• National Council for Mental Health of Sri Lanka
