The Lottery licenses retailers to sell all of its products, including draw-style and scratch-off game tickets. In selecting retailers for licensure, the Lottery corporation considers the applicant's:
- financial responsibility
- integrity
- reputation
- accessibility of the place of business or activity
- security of the premises
- projected sales volume
- and whether sufficient retailers already exist to serve public convenience
Because of the considerable investment of equipment and sales support the Lottery makes for on-line retailers, potential retailers are scrutinized to ensure an adequate return on this investment in making the decision to grant or renew a license.
