AI Summary

This bill aims to protect the privacy of lottery winners by amending Section 24 of Chapter 10 of the General Laws. Specifically, it states that the name, address, or any other information that could identify a winner of a lottery ticket will not be considered public records of the Massachusetts State Lottery Commission. This means this information will not be accessible under section 10 of chapter 66 of the General Laws, which typically governs public records. Furthermore, the bill mandates that the Massachusetts State Lottery Commission cannot publicly reveal the identity of a winning ticket holder or force them to participate in any public events related to receiving their prize money, provided the winner submits a written request to the Commission for privacy.
