Bill > HB06065

This bill proposes an amendment to Connecticut's existing lottery laws to protect the privacy of lottery winners by preventing the Connecticut Lottery Corporation (CLC) from publicly revealing the names of winners without their explicit consent. Under this proposed legislation, the CLC would be prohibited from disclosing a lottery winner's identity to the public unless the winner specifically agrees to have their name made known. This change would provide lottery winners with greater personal privacy and control over their personal information, potentially helping them avoid unwanted public attention, media scrutiny, or potential safety concerns that can arise from having a large lottery win publicly announced. The bill represents a straightforward privacy protection measure that gives lottery winners more agency in managing how their personal information is shared after a significant financial event.
