Which of the following is an offense under the Gambling Promotion section?

• A. Selling or transferring a lottery card or stub
• B. Running a private card game for charity
• C. Storing personal belongings in a public place
• D. Making a bet on the final result of a game without a device

Answer: (A)

Gambling Promotion offenses are about actions that facilitate or spread gambling. Selling or transferring a lottery card or its stub directly enables others to participate in a lottery, effectively promoting the gambling activity by distributing the means to play. The other options describe activities that are either not about promoting gambling (a private charity card game may be exempt or regulated separately, depending on rules), unrelated behaviors (storing belongings in a public place), or general wagering that isn’t itself promoting gambling. Thus, distributing lottery materials is the act that falls under gambling promotion.
