Lottery games are not only a fun product to offer your customers, but they are a profitable part of many businesses.

Any person interested in obtaining a license to be a Rhode Island Lottery Retailer must first file a Rhode Island Lottery Sales License application and General Disclaimer Form with the Lottery, which are both available on our Retailer Forms page with further information and instructions.

At the discretion of the Rhode Island Lottery, a license will be issued to the applicant whereby the following game type(s) may be made available for sale at the Retailer location:

• Instant Ticket games
• On-line games (Daily Numbers, Wild Money, PowerBall®)
• Monitor games (Keno, Rhody Poker)

Upon license approval, all licensees and their designated staff are required to attend a one-hour training session at the Rhode Island Lottery headquarters to learn the operation of Lottery terminals. There, the Lottery’s Rules and Regulations, to which licensees must adhere, will be presented and explained.

No license as a Retailer to sell Lottery tickets shall be issued to any person to engage in the sale of Lottery tickets as his/her sole occupation or business.

Lottery licenses are NOT transferable and are NOT to be advertised as a business feature or condition for sale purposes.
