At least Dolan didn’t point out to the Trooper, which one of the 100 tickets was the WINNING TICKET!

...for giving the trooper 100 promotional lottery tickets.

Promotional??? Sounds corrupt from the get-go.

Perhaps a come-on for the retailers who sell tickets. Nothing wrong in that case.

"On February 2, 2009, the OIG was made aware of this incident and an investigation was initiated. "

Well, that'll teach him to report it.

Why do retailers need come-ons for lottery tickets at all? The people that are going to buy them are going to buy them regardless and the revenues are all supposed to be going to government "for the children". They're stealing from the chi'ren's moufs.

Could be handouts to regular customers, or an incentive to sell a particular game. There are more than 50 scratch games running in Ohio at any one time, and not every retailer can dedicate the space and the accounting time to that many.
