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

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.
