Bill Summary
For legislation to protect the privacy of lottery winners. Consumer Protection and Professional Licensure.
AI Summary
This bill aims to protect the privacy of lottery winners in Massachusetts. It would amend the state's laws to prevent the Massachusetts Lottery Commission from publicly disclosing the name, address, or other identifying information of any holder of a winning lottery ticket, unless the winner provides written consent. The bill also allows winners to refuse to perform any public act in connection with the awarding, payment, or collection of their prize money, if they submit a written request to the Commission. This is intended to give lottery winners the option to maintain their anonymity and avoid unwanted publicity.
