Bill Summary
For legislation to redeem losing lottery tickets in the purchase of lottery tickets. Consumer Protection and Professional Licensure.
AI Summary
This bill proposes to amend Section 27 of Chapter 10 of the General Laws to allow for the redemption of losing scratch tickets, which are a type of instant lottery game where a player scratches off a coating to reveal if they have won a prize. Specifically, the bill states that these losing scratch tickets can be redeemed by the licensee, meaning the entity authorized to sell lottery tickets, for five cents per ticket. This redeemed value can only be used by the consumer to purchase another lottery ticket, effectively providing a small incentive to continue playing the lottery even after an initial loss.
