As a prerequisite for obtaining the machine, each agent shall have installed a communications link to the Lottery's central computer. Unless otherwise determined by the Director, the agent shall be responsible for the cost of installing the communications link, which shall be in form and specifications as determined by the Director. The agents having this type of machine will be required to operate the machine for purposes of the issuance of all lottery tickets and shall be required to provide certain specified services relating to the upkeep of the machine and the reporting of lottery sales. All agents are required to have on deposit in their lottery bank account, no later than the close of their bank business day each Thursday, gross sales receipts less commission and cash prizes paid out for the previous sales week ending Wednesday. All data regarding agents' sales and compensation shall be kept confidential by the Lottery, except for income tax reporting required by law.
Tickets redeemed by agents are to be destroyed and properly disposed.
Failure to do so will expose the agent to liability for restitution. No commissions are payable on canceled bets. Such a drawing will not be held on Christmas Day. The drawings will take place at a location and time prescribed by the Director and all drawings will be open to the public. The winning three-digit number will be randomly generated by mechanical means.
