Summary

The bill amends the State Lottery Act so a prizewinner can transfer the right to receive prize payments to a revocable trust, a court‑appointed conservator or guardian, or a creditor securing a loan. It sets detailed filing, notice, and court‑approval requirements to protect prizewinners and ensure the Lottery can honor the assignment. The changes affect prizewinners, their legal representatives, lenders, and the Lottery Commission.
