The Maryland Lottery formally announced a new initiative Thursday targeting gambling addicts, including a program for people to voluntarily ban themselves from casinos. Stephen Martino, the director of the Maryland Lottery, said those who join the program and still go to a casino can be charged with criminal trespassing. The program also calls for them to forfeit any money won.
“Any winnings — if you win a jackpot — those can be confiscated,” Martino said.
