Retail Incentive Program and Related Retailer Incentive Programs for Fiscal Year 2018-2019; Amended Notice

[48 Pa.B. 6358]
[Saturday, September 29, 2018]

 Under the State Lottery Law (72 P.S. §§ 3761-101—3761-314) and 61 Pa. Code § 803.11 (relating to powers and duties of the Secretary of Revenue), and under Title 4, Amusements, (4 Pa.C.S. §§ 501—505) the Secretary of Revenue hereby provides public notice of changes to the Retail Incentive Program and related Retailer Incentive Programs that were published at 48 Pa.B. 3914 (June 30, 2018).

 The Pennsylvania Lottery intends to clarify the definition of Retailer in Good Standing as set forth in section 3 (relating to definitions) of the notice. The Lottery also intends to clarify how the sales baseline is established as described in section 9 (relating to sales growth incentive program) to account for those Retailers who were not open or were not otherwise able to sell Lottery tickets. Finally, the Lottery intends to clarify that not all Quarterly Bonus Programs will enable Retailers to earn a bonus commission and may result in rewards other than a commission.
