Yes, the state lottos are just as bad if not worse. My state uses an animal puppet in lottery ads; this is effectively advertising to children before they're even old enough to play. They got a pass for years while other gambling was banned, but that's not right. Unfortunately the rampant ads have the same effect; kids growing up now will see this all as normal and probably be worse off for it. This is a way in which culture is downstream from law.
