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 lottery experience.
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 that players may not have sufficient time to redeem their tickets, potentially increasing participation in the lottery and benefiting the state's revenue from lottery sales.
