The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 5084, aims to amend the current statutes regarding the redemption period for lottery tickets. Specifically, the bill seeks to extend the lottery ticket redemption period to one year. This change is intended to provide lottery players with a longer timeframe to claim their winnings, thereby enhancing the overall experience and accessibility of the lottery system.
The bill does not specify any deletions from current law, focusing solely on the insertion of the new redemption period. By extending the redemption period, the bill addresses concerns about the short time frame currently in place, allowing individuals more opportunity to redeem their lottery tickets.
