AI Summary

This bill aims to protect the privacy of lottery winners in Massachusetts. It amends the state's General Laws to specify that the name, address, or other identifying information of a lottery winner shall not be considered public records and cannot be publicly disclosed by the state lottery commission. The bill also allows lottery winners to refuse to participate in any public actions related to the awarding, payment, or collection of their prize money, as long as they provide a written request to the commission. The bill is intended to give lottery winners the right to maintain their privacy if they choose to do so.
