The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 5084, seeks to amend current law regarding the redemption period for lottery tickets. Specifically, the bill introduces an extension of the lottery ticket redemption period to one year. This change aims to provide lottery players with a longer timeframe to claim their winnings, thereby enhancing accessibility and convenience for participants.
The bill does not specify any deletions from current law, focusing solely on the insertion of the new one-year redemption period. The intent behind this legislation is to ensure that individuals have ample opportunity to redeem their lottery tickets, which may encourage greater participation in the lottery system.
