The bill repeals and replaces Section 12-814, imposing new advertising standards for lottery ticket promotions.

  • Section 12-814

    Section 12-814 of the general statutes is repealed and the following is substituted in lieu thereof (Effective July 1, 2021): → (a) In each advertisement intended to promote the purchase of lottery tickets issued for games authorized under sections 12-563a and 12-800 to 12-818, inclusive, the corporation shall include a prominent and clear statement of the average chances of winning per lottery ticket.

    This change establishes a requirement for lottery advertisements to disclose the average chances of winning.

  • Section 12-814

    The provisions of subsection (a) of this section shall apply only to (1) advertisements in newspapers, magazines [,] and brochures and on posters, and (2) television and radio advertisements thirty seconds or longer for one game. → (b) The provisions of subsection (a) of this section shall apply only to (1) advertisements in newspapers, magazines, and brochures and on posters, and (2) television and radio advertisements thirty seconds or longer for one game.

    This change clarifies the specific types of advertisements covered by the new requirements.

  • Section 12-814

    On or before October 1, 1999, the corporation shall implement a code of standards for all advertisements and other activities intended to promote the purchase of lottery tickets for games authorized pursuant to this chapter. → (c) On or before October 1, 1999, the corporation shall implement a code of standards for all advertisements and other activities intended to promote the purchase of lottery tickets for games authorized pursuant to this chapter. The code of standards shall include the requirement that no advertisement or promotion shall denigrate the character or conduct of nonlottery players or praise the character or conduct of lottery players.

    This maintains the requirement for a code of standards while specifying that it must not denigrate nonlottery players.

  • Section 12-814

    The corporation shall not publish the photograph of any person who redeems a winning lottery ticket on the corporation's Internet web site without the prior written consent of such person. → (d) The corporation shall not publish the photograph of any person who redeems a winning lottery ticket on the corporation's Internet web site without the prior written consent of such person.

    This retains privacy protections for individuals who win lottery tickets.

  • Section 12-814

    If a person who redeems a winning lottery ticket requests to be excluded from the list of winners published on the corporation's Internet web site, the corporationshall remove such person's name from such list not later than five days after receiving such request. → (e) If a person who redeems a winning lottery ticket requests to be excluded from the list of winners published on the corporation's Internet web site, the corporation shall remove such person's name from such list not later than five days after receiving such request.

    This ensures individuals can request to be excluded from public winner lists within a specified timeframe.
