This bill mandates that the overall estimated odds of winning a prize in lottery games, excluding draw-based games, be prominently displayed on every lottery ticket sold. For draw-based games, the estimated odds must be readily available to consumers at the point of sale and on the official New Jersey Lottery website. The odds are required to be expressed in a standardized format, which will be determined by the State Lottery Commission. Additionally, the bill outlines that the commission will create necessary rules and regulations to implement these provisions in accordance with the Administrative Procedure Act.
Furthermore, the bill provides a definition for "draw based game," specifying that it refers to games where tickets are generated from a gaming system and winning numbers are drawn randomly, without a pre-determined outcome. The act is set to take effect on the first day of the seventh month following its enactment, although the commission may take anticipatory actions to ensure its implementation.
