Delaware Code Title 29 Sec. 4852 – General provisions
(a) Statement of policy and purpose. — The State of Delaware enters this compact to implement the operation of Tri-State Lotto, for the purpose of raising additional revenue for each of the party states. Tri-State Lotto is not intended to replace any existing lottery game in the party states but, rather, to be run in addition to these games. Tri-State Lotto tickets will be sold in each area to be determined by the Commission. Fifty percent of the gross sales from each state will be aggregated in a common prize pool, and operating costs will be charged proportionally to the sales made by each of the party states. The remaining revenues generated within each state will remain in that particular state.
