Storage of Closed Games

Keep the following for closed games: 

• All redeemed winning tickets. 
• All unsold tickets. 
• The flare. 
• The LG861. 
• The completed prize receipts.

It is recommended that closed games be put in waterproof bags and stored in sturdy, stackable storage boxes, and to use a storage area not susceptible to flooding. 

On the outside of each box, write the following: 

• month and year the games were closed; 
• the serial numbers of each game stored in that box; and 
• the month and year the tickets may be destroyed. 

Games must be kept in a secured area for 3-1/2 years after the month in which the game receipts were reported on the LG100A. 

More games can be stored in a smaller space by using storage boxes rather than the original game boxes. 

Game records must be stored in a secured area in the state of Minnesota.
