(3) Lottery’s Response: The Lottery will take one of the following actions on a request for reconsideration: (a) Approval of the Request: If the Director determines the change in circumstances or information submitted in the request for reconsideration adequately addresses, corrects, or resolves the issues which were the basis for the denial or termination order, the request for reconsideration will be granted, and the denial or termination order will be rescinded.
