Lottery tickets may be sold at the Union, director says

KU students may be able to gamble on campus next semester.
Gov. Mike Hayden signed a bill into law on March 12 that gave Kansas a state lottery, and retailers across the state are considering selling lottery tickets. The Kansas Union is one of them.
"Right now, we're looking at the advisability and feasibility of selling the tickets," said Jim Long, director of the Union. "If it could be a service to our University community, we would certainly take a look at it."
Dan Walstrom, the lottery project coordinator, said about 2,000 Kansas retailers would be selling instant-win game tickets, which would be the first part of the lottery to open, probably in September or October.
So far, the lottery administration has not determined specifically how the instant-win game will be played.
such as the number and size of the prizes, how many tickets will be sold and how large the retailers' profits will be. Walstrom expected to have those details worked out by June or July.
In most states that conduct a lottery, instant-win tickets sell for about $1. The buyer, who must be 18 or older, scratches off a rubber substance from the ticket to reveal three dollar figures. If they match, the buyer wins that prize or may go on to draw for a higher prize, he said.
Earlier this month, Hayden estimated that the lottery would make $75 million.
Walstrom said the money would promote economic development in the state. Profits would not support higher education, except to finance university research projects on developing the state's economy.
The lottery project administration is conducting a research of which
retailers would be best suited to sell lottery tickets. So far, no restrictions apply to who may sell them. Walstrom said. But he thought well-respected retailers would be best suited to handle ticket sales and suggested convenience stores and grocery stores as probable ticket handlers.
"We're not necessarily encouraging universities to sell the tickets, but some have asked to be placed on a mail list." Walstrom said.
Potential retailers will receive information about selling tickets once the sales regulations have been worked out. Retailers should have that information within two months, he said.
until the Union administrators receive such information, they are weighing only the possibility of selling lottery tickets on campus, Long said.
