POLICY STATEMENT
POL 110.553 and 110.557 – Headquarters Drawing Official (HDO) Activities (revision)
The HDO performs duties related to the on-line drawings, such as ensuring sales are closed, winning numbers are certified, and pay out values are in the on-line games system. This revision adds the new on-line game, Lucky for Life, and reflects changes due to broadcasting the drawings on NorthWest Cable News (all games are now broadcast live and are performed in a different order).
