Bill > SB634

This bill repeals the existing prohibition on the Missouri State Lottery offering games based on the outcome of sporting events. Specifically, the bill removes the language that previously banned lottery games from being based on sporting event outcomes, effectively allowing the State Lottery Commission to potentially develop and offer sports-related lottery games. The bill modifies Section 313.230 of the Missouri Revised Statutes, which outlines the responsibilities of the State Lottery Commission. The change is part of the commission's broader authority to issue rules and regulations concerning lottery operations, including determining the types of lottery games that can be conducted. By removing the restriction on sports-based lottery games, the bill opens up a new potential revenue stream for the state lottery and provides the commission with more flexibility in designing lottery products. The bill maintains the commission's existing duties, such as setting ticket prices, determining prize structures, licensing retailers, and reporting quarterly and annual lottery revenues to the governor and general assembly.
