Bill Summary
A BILL FOR AN ACT relating to gaming; to amend sections 9-401, 9-411, 9-415, 9-431, 9-501, 9-507, and 9-509, Reissue Revised Statutes of Nebraska, and sections 9-427 and 9-511, Revised Statutes Cumulative Supplement, 2024; to authorize a progressive jackpot form of lottery and raffle under the Nebraska Lottery and Raffle Act and the Nebraska Small Lottery and Raffle Act as prescribed; to provide powers and duties to the Department of Revenue; to harmonize provisions; and to repeal the original sections.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Nebraska Lottery and Raffle Act and the Nebraska Small Lottery and Raffle Act to authorize a new type of lottery and raffle that features a progressive jackpot, meaning the prize money can increase over time if not won, and allows for multiple drawing dates for a single game, similar to popular games like "Queen of Hearts." Licensed organizations and qualifying nonprofit organizations conducting these new types of games must register them with the Department of Revenue and post the game rules visibly, and they will also be permitted to sell tickets through vending machines. A key change for these progressive jackpot games is that only fifty percent of the gross proceeds (total money collected) are required to be used for awarding prizes, a reduction from the usual sixty-five percent, while the Department of Revenue is empowered to create specific rules for these games.
