This bill prohibits a person or group of persons working together from making bulk purchases of lottery tickets or shares. The bill provides that the term "bulk purchase" means the purchase, in aggregate, of tickets or shares in a lottery game in an amount exceeding $100,000. The bill provides that the State Liquor and Lottery Commission may refuse payment of a prize for a winning ticket or share that was purchased as part of a bulk purchase. The bill requires the commission to adopt rules related to bulk purchasing. The bill also authorizes the Director of Alcoholic Beverages and Lottery Operations within the Department of Administrative and Financial Services to suspend or revoke a person's license to sell lottery tickets if the person knowingly sells tickets or shares to a person attempting to make a bulk purchase. These provisions do not apply to the Tri-state Lotto Compact.
