The Lottery may consider any relevant factors to determine the sales baseline.

 (3) If the Retailer was not a licensed Retailer for the entirety of any Quarter in fiscal year 2019-2020, the Lottery will establish a sales baseline for that Retailer for the corresponding Quarter based on sales at the Retail Location for the same Quarter in fiscal year 2019-2020.
