What’s in it
Under current law, lottery player name and address lists are kept confidential unless otherwise ordered by a court, by the lawful custodian of the records, or by another person duly authorized to release such information, but the names and addresses of lottery prize winners are not kept confidential by the department of revenue. This bill provides that the name, address, and personally identifiable information of a lottery prize winner under Code chapter 99G shall be kept similarly confidential if the prize awarded is $1 million or more, the prize winner does not elect to receive the prize in installment payments, and the prize winner elects to remain anonymous at the time of claiming the lottery prize.
Read the full explanation
The bill allows the release of a prize winner’s city or county of residence, and the release of a prize winner’s personally identifiable information to the department of health and human services or as otherwise authorized or required by law. Under current law, operational security measures, systems, and procedures of the Iowa lottery are kept similarly confidential. The bill specifies that this includes security plans and procedures designed to ensure the integrity and security of lottery operations, and information that ensures the integrity and security of the selection process for winning tickets or numbers.
