Up from 5 percent of the ticket price.
The bill raises the minimum commission the state lottery pays to stores that sell lottery tickets from 5 percent to 7.5 percent of the ticket price. It touches licensed lottery sales agents, meaning the retailers who sell tickets, and the lottery director and operators who set their pay. Starting September 1, 2025, retailers get at least 2.5 more cents per dollar of tickets sold, and that money comes out of the lottery's revenue, with optional incentive bonuses still allowed.
