Sec.12-568a-7. Lottery sales

(a) Categories of sales. The CLC, in its discretion, shall determine the categories of tickets including: (1) instant game, (2) terminal game, and (3) other types of games that an agent is permitted to sell. An agent shall sell and redeem all categories of tickets unless otherwise instructed by the CLC.

(b) Sales restricted to premises. The sale of tickets by an agent at other than its licensed premises is prohibited unless otherwise authorized pursuant to section 12-568a-6(a) of the Regulations of Connecticut State Agencies.

(c) Multiple locations. Any agent who desires to sell tickets at more than one address or location shall hold a separate lottery sales agent license for each location; however, disciplinary proceedings or orders by the department or the CLC concerning any activity by such an agent at any one licensed location may apply to any other licensed location of the agent. Any instant game tickets allocated for one licensed location shall be sold at that licensed location only.

(d) Limitations on sales.

(1) All ticket sales shall be final except as otherwise provided for in official procedures.

(2) Only duly licensed agents or their employees may sell tickets; however, persons who may lawfully purchase tickets may make a gift of tickets to another person.

(3) Tickets may not be sold for less than or greater than the price established by the CLC. This shall not preclude a person who has purchased tickets from providing those tickets as gifts or as promotional consideration as permitted by law.

(4) No tickets shall be sold to any person under the age of majority as established by law; however, minors may receive tickets as gifts.

(5) An agent shall accept only play slips provided by the CLC.

(6) No person may offer for sale, sell, deliver or advertise any out-of-state ticket for a fee pursuant to section 12-570a of the Connecticut General Statutes.

(e) Municipal, state or federal action. No ticket shall be sold or cashed at the premises of an agent while the business is closed as the result of any action by any municipal, state or federal agency.
