BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – A group that addresses gambling addiction is meeting in Bismarck to set goals for the next two years.
The Problem Gambling Advisory Council will meet Wednesday from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the North Dakota Department of Human Services’ Prairie Hills Plaza location.
The group says its aim is to raise public awareness to gambling addiction and to promote prevention.
Most of North Dakota’s lottery profits go to the state’s general treasury, with smaller portions set aside to provide counseling for gambling addicts and for drug enforcement.
