Lottery Retailers in the News |
|
|
There has been growing national media interest about the integrity of some who sell lottery tickets—not about the lottery organizations themselves but the actual individuals who work at/or own a retailer location.
While it appears that a very small number of U.S. lottery retailers may have committed wrongdoing, the Tennessee Education Lottery welcomes this attention as another way to raise player awareness and to help serve as a warning to any retailer who might consider taking advantage of a player.
While the media interest is fairly recent, many lotteries—including Tennessee’s—have been working for years to prevent retailer infractions that could impact players. After all, if a player doesn’t believe he or she had a fair chance of winning a prize, it would make the mission of raising millions of dollars for important causes impossible.
