Requirements
Massachusetts State Lottery Commission (MSLC) licenses are issued subject to the requirements of 961 CMR 2.00-4.00.
By state law, no member of the commission or covered state employee of the Massachusetts State Lottery, as well as their immediate family members who reside in the same household and in the same principal place of abode, shall be issued a license to sell lottery tickets. See Massachusetts General Law Chapter 10, Section 27 for details. For further questions regarding this statute, email legalinquiries@masslottery.com.
MSLC sales agent licenses are not transferable. If you have purchased or are in the process of buying a business establishment that is currently licensed to sell MSLC products, you will have to apply for a new license to sell MSLC products.
Proposed locations must be a retail business and cannot be established for the sole purpose of selling MSLC Products.
You can apply to become a Licensed Sales Agent by creating an account on the Massachusetts State Lottery Licensing portal.

Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Information
The Massachusetts State Lottery will work with newly licensed agents to determine if their business is functionally accessible for individuals with mobility impairments. If the accessibility at the location is limited, the Lottery will work with new agents to determine the best course of action to address or eliminate barriers for customers with mobility impairments.
The Massachusetts State Lottery is confident that new agents share our goal to be able to sell Lottery products to all potential customers. If you have any questions about the ADA process, please feel free to contact Leslie Zella of the Legal Department at lzella@masslottery.com
