Washington's Lottery is removing a scratch game featuring pictures of popular candies after a complaint that it could appeal to children. Gov. Christine Gregoire's office on Thursday asked the lottery to pull the game, which features tickets that look like labels for Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, Jolly Rancher and other candies, after investigating a concern that it could be perceived as a game for kids.
