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.

You can find out more about the issue on the Iowa Lottery’s Blog on their webpage.
