Failed·6/2/25
Tpdf Text

This bill mandates a minimum 10% sales commission for retailers selling lottery tickets in Maine.

This bill amends the Maine Revised Statutes to ensure that retailers licensed to sell lottery tickets receive a minimum 10% sales commission for each instant lottery game ticket and each draw or other terminal-generated game ticket sold. The Department of Administrative and Financial Services, State Liquor and Lottery Commission must adopt rules to enforce this minimum commission. This change aims to provide adequate compensation to retailers, ensuring the availability of lottery tickets and the convenience of the general public.
