Retailers receive a basic commission of 6.25% for instant scratch tickets and pull-tab tickets, and 5.5% for lotto products. In addition, nonprofit organizations may apply to sell pull-tab tickets and receive a higher commission rate. Currently there are about 3,800 retail outlets throughout the state, including convenience stores, grocery stores, service stations, restaurants, liquor stores, and nonprofit organizations.
