AI Summary

This bill amends the State Lottery Law to add a definition for the "Department" (the Department of Revenue of the Commonwealth) and to provide for the disclosure of certain prizewinner identities. The bill states that the name, address, and other personal information of a prizewinner awarded a lottery prize of $100,000 or more shall remain confidential and not be considered a public record, with exceptions for the city, township, or borough of residence, county of residence, and prize amount, which shall remain public record. The prizewinners may voluntarily waive the confidentiality, and the Department may promulgate regulations to implement these provisions.
