Short Summary
This document outlines the obligations of lottery retailers in Washington state. It applies to all lottery retailers and lottery license applicants. The retailers are responsible for the condition and security of the packs of instant tickets they receive from the director. They must hold the packs in safekeeping until ready to begin sales and activate the packs on the lottery-issued terminal before selling the tickets. If any tickets are lost, stolen, or unaccounted for before activation, the retailer must immediately notify the director and may be charged $25 for each missing pack. Retailers can return unopened packs to the director before activation. Once a pack is activated, the retailer is liable for payment to the director. The retailer must maintain and store activated tickets securely, and in case of theft, may be eligible for reimbursement if certain conditions are met. The retailer must comply with the lottery retailer contract, abide by the law and rules, and allow inspections of premises and records by the director. Advertising that is derogatory or adverse to the lottery operations is prohibited.
