An Act amending the act of August 26, 1971 (P.L.351, No.91), known as the State Lottery Law, in State lottery, further providing for definitions and providing for disclosure of certain prizewinner identities.
This bill amends Pennsylvania's State Lottery Law to protect the privacy of large lottery winners. It requires that personal information (name, address, and other details) for winners of $100,000 or more in prizes remain confidential and not part of public records. However, the winner's city/township/borough, county of residence, and prize amount must still be publicly disclosed. Winners may voluntarily waive this confidentiality by following procedures set by the Department of Revenue, and the department can create implementing regulations.
