Article 34 - (1600 - 1620) NEW YORK STATE LOTTERY FOR EDUCATION
1609 - Lottery tickets.

§  1609.  Lottery tickets. a. Lottery tickets shall be in such form as
  the division may prescribe. 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.
