Oregon's lottery must provide
the lottery commission with
their addresses and income tax
returns.
Because of Bally’s gambling
operations, Scientific Games
already must make this informa
tion public, and only one other
lottery ticket retailer currently
provides such information.
Opponents charge that Scien
tific Games had this provision
written into the measure in
order to preclude any extensive
competitive bidding on the con
tract for selling lottery tickets.
In other words, Scientific
Games will have a monopoly
over the sale of lottery tickets to
the Oregon lottery.
Bob Mote, vice president and
legal counsel for .Scientific
Games, counters that the

lot of elected of
ficials who don’t
know where the
public is at on this

"We annually review lottery
legislation throughout the

Washington’s state lottery
does not require this procedure.
Washington awards its lottery
ticket contracts following a
lengthy competitive bidding

Ecumenical Ministries of
Oregon filed a challenge against
Measure 4, asking the Oregon
Supreme Court to remove the
measure from the ballot because
the ballot title incorrectly States
that 50 percent of the lottery
proceeds would be used for
prizes. The 50 percent provi- ■
sion is found in Measure 5, not
in Measure 4.
The title, a brief summary of
the measure, appears on the
ballot but isn’t part of the
measure. The attorney general’s
office incorrectly worded the ti
tle, but the court ruled it could
do nothing about the error
because the challenge came
after the 20-day period allowed
for such challenges. Measure 4
will remain on the ballot.
