2006 New York Code - Lottery Tickets.

 
    §  1609.  Lottery tickets. a. Lottery tickets shall be in such form as
  the division may prescribe. Notwithstanding any  inconsistent  provision
  of  law, commencing January first, nineteen hundred seventy-eight, or as
  soon thereafter, in the discretion of the  director,  as  is  reasonably
  practical  and  terminating  upon  March  thirty-first, nineteen hundred
  eighty or upon  such  earlier  date,  as  determined  by  the  director,
  succeeding  the  date upon which the sum of one hundred million dollars,
  in the aggregate, shall have been  derived  from  the  sale  of  lottery
  tickets   for  the  support  of  winter  sports  physical  education  in
  commemoration of the XIII winter olympic games and paid into the  winter
  sports   education   trust   fund   created   in  section  four  hundred
  ninety-five-a of the education law whichever  event  occurs  first,  the
  division  may  elect  to  offer a single lottery ticket for sale for the
  support of winter sports physical education in commemoration of the XIII
  winter olympic games. Nothing herein shall be construed to prohibit  the
  division,  during  such period of time, from offering more than one type
  of lottery ticket for sale, provided however, that during such period of
  time the division shall sell at least one type of lottery  ticket  which
  shall  be  for  the  support  of  winter  sports  physical  education in
  commemoration of the XIII winter olympic games. Upon the  occurrence  of
  March  thirty-first,  nineteen hundred eighty or upon an earlier date as
  determined by the director, succeeding the accumulation and  payment  of
  one  hundred  million  dollars, in the aggregate, into the winter sports
  education  trust  fund,  whichever  occurs  first,  the  division  shall
  discontinue  the  sale  of such commemorative lottery tickets. No ticket
  shall be sold at a price greater than that fixed  by  the  division  nor
  shall  a  sale be made by any person other than a licensed lottery sales
  agent, and a violation of these provisions shall be a  misdemeanor,  but
  this  shall  not  be  deemed  to  prevent any person from giving lottery
  tickets as premiums to customers, employees or other dealing with him.
    b. 1. Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision  of  any  other  law,
  rule or regulation, any contract for the printing or purchase of tickets
  shall  only  be  awarded  after bids made on specifications compiled and
  advertised in the manner  provided  by  law  for  the  advertisement  of
  contracts   for   the   purchase  of  materials  and  supplies,  by  the
  commissioner of general services and  only  to  the  lowest  responsible
  bidder as that term is herein defined.
    2.  For  purposes of this section the term "lowest responsible bidder"
  shall mean and only include a responsible bidder who
    (a) submits a bid  which  is  lower  than  any  other  bid  and  whose
  production facilities for such tickets are located in this state; or
    (b)  submits  a  bid  which  is  the  lowest of any bid submitted by a
  responsible bidder whose production  facilities  for  such  tickets  are
  located  in  this  state  and which bid does not exceed by more than ten
  percent the bid of any responsible bidder  whose  production  facilities
  are located outside the state; or
    (c)  has  located  his  production  facilities for tickets outside the
  state and submits a bid of which one hundred ten percent of  the  amount
  thereof  is lower than any bid submitted by any responsible bidder whose
  production facilities are located in this state and is  lower  than  the
  bid  of any other responsible bidder whose production facilities are not
  located in this state.
