P.A. lottery ticket sales over $50M
Gambling may not grab headlines as often as other addictions, but in Prince Albert, it is of concern.
“It is a problem for some people,” Cory Rennie, manager of addictions and integrated outreach services, said. “You probably don’t hear as much about it as you do about some of the drugs or alcohol. Crystal meth is in the news a lot at the moment but gambling is here.”
Though no specific numbers, Rennie mentioned there are enough people in the city with gambling problems to keep their counsellors busy.
One way residents seem to like testing their luck is through lottery tickets.
