- (a) A lottery retailer shall not knowingly sell to any purchaser, whether the purchaser is individual, group, or entity that purchases, in aggregate, lottery tickets exceeding $10,000 within a 24 hour period of time, regardless of whether the purchase occurs in a single transaction or multiple transactions. The purchase of lottery tickets by multiple individuals acting in concert shall be deemed bulk purchasing. For the purposes of this rule, "acting in concert" includes, but is not limited to, individuals or entities coordinating their purchases, sharing funds for purchases, or acting on behalf of a common interest or strategy to exceed the stated purchase limitation.
- (b) The commission reserves the right to investigate any purchase patterns it deems suspicious or indicative of bulk ticket purchases. The commission’s determination as to whether a violation of this rule has occurred shall be final and binding. The commission shall consider factors such as, but not limited to, video surveillance, purchase records, and witness statements in its investigation.
