WASHINGTON STATE LOTTERY
[Filed April 17, 1998, 9:25 a.m.]
The Washington State Lottery has recently adopted or revised the following policies:
POL 130.002 - Appointing, Training, and Removing Lottery Security Officials (LSOs) and Lottery Drawing Officials (LDOs) (new)
This policy puts in writing the system used for selecting and removing LSOs and LDOs, and initiates a formalized training program. The drawing coordinator limits the number of officials appointed to that which allows the officials to remain familiar with his/her duties and responsibilities. Appointments are made by the security chief on a first-come, first-served basis. However, the security chief may deny an appointment if: a) The employee's regular duties would result in a conflict of interest, or b) the employee does not understand the importance of maintaining the dignity of the drawings or is not capable of performing any and all duties in a professional manner consistent with the dignity of the state. Officials may be removed from drawing duty for failing to follow all policies and procedures related to the drawings.
Signed 3/26/98
POL 130.021 - Use of Sporting Events Tickets (new)
This policy outlines permissible uses for admission tickets provided to the lottery by sports organizations. Lottery staff who attend a sporting event for the purpose of conducting lottery business are given one ticket to that event. (Lottery business is defined as participating in a lottery promotion, inspecting permanent signage, etc.)
Remaining tickets are allocated to corporate accounts, or to regions for use in promotions or good will gestures with retailers. If the tickets are used to develop a better relationship with a current or prospective retailer, DSRs and corporate accounts managers may receive one ticket to attend with the retailer.
Under no condition can the employee's family or friends receive a ticket.
Signed 3/6/98
POL 320.043 - "You Gotta Love These Games II" Retailer Promotion (new)
From March 30 through April 26, retailers automatically receive one entry into a weekly drawing for each pack of tickets activated from games 212 ($2 Batter Up Bucks) and 213 (My!Oh!My!). Each week, five entries from each region (total of 30 entries) will be awarded Mariner merchandise and game tickets.
On April 29, one retailer in each region will receive a grand prize of a trip for two to Anaheim, California to attend a series of three Mariners-Angels games. The package includes round trip air fair from SeaTac Airport, three nights hotel accommodations, and two tickets to each of the June 12-14 games. Prizes were donated by the Mariners.
