It's not illegal in most states for a minor to PLAY the lottery, only to purchase lottery tickets. As a kid, my mom would buy me a ticket, I'd scratch it, and if I won a $1 or a free ticket or something, I'd hand it right back to my mom and she'd turn it in, all in front of the clerk. (of course that was 20 years ago) \n\nJust make sure you don't have to claim your prize before your kids 18th birthday. There is a "must claim prize by:" date on the tickets or rules of the game.

I don;t think it is illegal, but, to be on the safe side, don't let a child in a tatoo shop.

I call it Halloween. I was raised in Michigan although I live in Georgia now. Back in MI we dressed in costumes and went Trick-or-Treating. Many churches had Harvest Parties or gatherings to offer an alternative to celebrating Halloween, which is believed by many to be a festival of death and demons. In many Latin countries it is parallel to "Day of the Dead", or Dia de los Muertos, or a remembrance of those who are now gone from the earth but remain with us in spirit.

I'm not sure about the legality, but I do know that in some states it's enforced, and in others it's not.\n\nNote: Check out the story of the lady who died in Spokane, WA last year.

I think anytime you get over 100,000 people together there will be some elements that could potentially lead to the tragic thing that happened at this party. I don't think its really related to the fact they were getting dressed up and partying for Halloween necessarily. Same thing could very well have happened for any celebration or gathering of people. I don't see anything wrong with adults dressing up and celebrating Halloween. I have done it myself on many Halloweens and no one at any event I attended ever got hurt. Haven't you heard of being young at heart?

OMG that guy really answered your question, didn't he?\nI'd say yes. A lot of illegal things have made their way into everyday life. Consider moonshine, gambling, prostitution, drinking in college.\nThese things are still against the law, but everybody knows people who do it, and it's generally accepted.
