Do I need my spouse's consent to buy lottery tickets for my parents?

Lottery is a state-approved way to raise funds by drawing lots, and individuals can buy it freely without their spouses' consent.

According to the statement made by the Ministry of Civil Affairs in the Measures for the Administration of Welfare Lottery in China, welfare lottery refers to securities with numbers, graphics or words printed on them for people to buy voluntarily, and the buyers decide whether to get or not to get bonuses according to specific rules.
