N.D. Lottery mistake leads callers to sex line

North Dakota LotteryNorth Dakota Lottery: N.D. Lottery mistake leads callers to sex line

"Lady luck", the symbol of North Dakota's new Powerball lottery, may be blushing a bit.

It turns out a toll free number posted on lottery ticket terminals at nearly 400 sites statewide is incorrect.

The 800 number is meant for retailers who have questions about the lottery. But it refers callers to another number. The second number is a sex talk line.

State lottery spokeswoman Eileen Walsh says it was a misprint. The wrong prefix was used. Instead of an 800 prefix -- the number should have carried an 877 prefix.

Walsh says it's been corrected, and new stickers are going out today. A retailer told the attorney general's office about the problem.

Attorney general spokeswoman Liz Brocker says officials are sending out stickers with the correct number.

The lottery starts next week in North Dakota.
