The bill amends chapter 313 of the Revised Statutes of Missouri by adding a new section, 313.302, which introduces definitions related to lottery games, specifically focusing on draw games and scratchers games. Key terms defined in this section include "computer gaming system," "draw games," "draw games lottery retailer," "draw games terminal," "draw games ticket," "scratchers game," and "scratchers ticket." These definitions aim to clarify the components and operations of the lottery system in Missouri. Additionally, the bill mandates that starting January 1, 2027, all draw games and scratchers games must display an expiration date on the face of the respective tickets. This requirement is intended to ensure transparency for players regarding the validity period of their lottery tickets, thereby enhancing consumer awareness and protection in the lottery gaming process.
