Scratch tickets are often given as Christmas gifts, but Iowa Lottery spokesperson, Mary Neubauer says they are not recommending them for minors.
She says it can be a gray area for some people.
Neubauer says scratch tickets are a form of gambling.
Neubauer says you have to be 21 to buy a scratch ticket, but it is NOT illegal for a minor to redeem a gift ticket.
