Setting a spend/loss budget is one way to ensure you are playing responsibly.
If you would like to establish a spend/loss budget on your Lottery account, you may do so by:
Logging into your Pennsylvania Lottery account and going to Account icon > Responsible Gambling > budgets.
On this page, scroll to Spend budget and you will see any current budgets.
To set or change a budget, select your new budget from the drop down options, then scroll to the bottom and select Update budgets.
You will receive a confirmation email to confirm your change.

What are spend/loss budgets?
A spend/loss budget restricts the amount of your money that can be placed at risk during the prescribed time period.
This does not include any winnings accumulated during the time period, and will not budget the time spent on the site or the number of deposits made during a time period.
Spend/loss budgets can be set at a daily, weekly or monthly level.
Daily budgets - Reset daily at 1:00 a.m.
Weekly budgets - Reset each Monday at 1:00 a.m.
Monthly budgets - Reset on the first of each month at 1:00 a.m.
If you wish to change your Responsible Gambling Budget you may do so at any time:
A more restrictive budget will go into effect immediately.
A less restrictive budget will go into effect when the current budget expires.
Responsible Gambling Budget Combinations
Consider setting a combination of various budgets to help ensure you are playing responsibly.
Example 1: In addition to setting a daily spend/loss budget, you could set a monthly budget.
Example 2: Combine a monthly spending/loss budget with a daily time budget.
Example 3: Combine a monthly deposit budget, a time budget, and a daily loss budget.
