What it is and who needs it.
What the lottery retailer bond covers
Minnesota licenses lottery retailers through the Minnesota State Lottery under Minn. Stat. 349A.06. Most retailers never post a bond — but the statute lets the director require a bond, securities, or an irrevocable letter of credit, in an amount the director deems necessary to protect the financial interests of the state.
The bond stands behind the money a retailer owes the Lottery — ticket-sales proceeds and fees held in trust before they are remitted. If a retailer fails to remit, the state can recover against the bond. When required, the amount is generally tied to a retailer’s sales volume so it tracks the funds at risk.
Whatever figure the director sets, pricing starts from $100 and the application collects no credit information. If the director accepts a letter of credit or deposited securities instead, those are alternatives the statute allows — a surety bond is usually the cheapest way to satisfy the requirement.
