Sec. 12-813. Sale of lottery tickets. Deposit of receipts. Compensation of
agents. (a) The corporation may sell lottery tickets at any location in the state determined
by the president which, in the opinion of the president, will best enhance lottery revenues,
except that no license shall be issued by the Division of Special Revenue to any person
to engage in business exclusively as a lottery sales agent. Subject to the provisions
of subdivision (15) of subsection (b) of section 12-806, the president may authorize
compensation to such agents in such manner and amounts and subject to such limitations
as he may determine if he finds such compensation is necessary to assure adequate
availability of lottery tickets, provided, if such agent is a lessee of state property and
his rental fee is based upon the gross receipts of his business conducted thereon, all
receipts from the sale of such lottery tickets shall be excluded from such gross receipts
for rental purposes. The president may suspend for cause any licensed agent, subject to
a final determination through a hearing provided by the Division of Special Revenue.
(c) The president may impose surety bonding requirements on lottery sales agents.
(d) No ticket shall be sold at a price greater than that fixed by the president, subject to the direction of the board and no sale shall be made other than by a licensed lottery sales agent or his designated employee, or by such other lawful means. No person shall sell a lottery ticket to a minor and no minor shall purchase a lottery ticket. Any person who violates the provisions of this subsection shall be guilty of a class A misdemeanor. A minor may receive a lottery ticket as a gift.
