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.
