Approximately 2,700 businesses throughout the state make up the Lottery's retail network. These retailers sell Lottery tickets, redeem smaller prizes, provide winning numbers and other information to players, and are an important link in informing customers about Lottery games, promotions and events. Retailers must be licensed by the Lottery to sell its products, and these businesses run the gamut from large grocery and convenience stores, to liquor stores, and independently-owned shops.
Retailers earn commissions and bonuses for selling Lottery tickets.
You'll find Colorado Lottery retailers all across the state, from local corner stores to city supermarkets. In fiscal year 1996, the Lottery, in conjunction with retailers, the Lottery Commission, and the disabled community, began the rule-making process for implementing the Americans with Disabilities Act standards. This process, implemented in fiscal year 1997, provides disabled persons with access to all Lottery products and services.
