§ 9-17-118 — Restrictions on sale of tickets or shares; price; gifts and promotions

(a) No person shall sell a ticket or share at a price
other than established by the corporation unless authorized in
writing by the chief executive officer. No person other than a
duly certified lottery retailer shall sell lottery tickets, but
this subsection shall not be construed to prevent a person who
may lawfully purchase tickets or shares from making a gift of
lottery tickets or shares to another. Nothing in this chapter
shall be construed to prohibit the corporation from designating
certain of its agents and employees to sell or give lottery
tickets or shares directly to the public.
(b) No lottery retailer shall sell a lottery ticket or
share except from the locations listed in his contract and as
evidenced by his certificate of authorization unless the
corporation authorizes in writing any temporary location not
listed in his contract.
(c) No lottery tickets or shares shall be sold to persons
under eighteen (18) years of age, but this subsection does not
prohibit the purchase of a lottery ticket or share by a person
eighteen (18) years of age or older for the purpose of making a
gift to any person of any age. In that case, the corporation
shall direct payment of proceeds of any lottery prize to an
adult member of the person's family or a legal representative of
the person on behalf of the underage person.
