The Connecticut Lottery Corporation is proposing a policy that would allow it to restrict bulk ticket purchases across all lottery products, including scratch, draw, Fast Play and Keno games.
The notice posted October 27 invites written comments through November 27, 2026. The proposed policy lists its effective date as undetermined.
Under the proposal, CLC could limit, delay or refuse transactions that threaten game integrity, public access or its financial interests. It could set product-specific limits without imposing a uniform cap.
Examples of bulk activity include buying entire scratch ticket packs, acquiring substantial game inventory and coordinating purchases across multiple people. The policy also addresses strategies exploiting remaining prize information.
Retailers would have to follow CLC limits, cooperate with investigations and report efforts to circumvent restrictions to CLC and the Department of Consumer Protection. Noncompliance could lead to contract termination.
Comments may be emailed to legal@ctlottery.org with “Public Comment” in the subject line. The official notice and proposed policy include submission details.
