Under present law governing the Tennessee education lottery corporation, identifying information obtained by the corporation from lottery prize winners including, but not limited to, home and work addresses, telephone numbers, social security numbers, and any other information that could reasonably be used to locate the whereabouts of an individual is generally considered confidential information. Under present law, the corporation may disclose a lottery prize winner's name, home state, hometown, and, if authorized by the prize winner, any other information for marketing, advertising, or promotional purposes. Under this bill, the name of a lottery prize winner will be treated as confidential information. This bill revises the above provision regarding disclosure of information to instead provide that the corporation may only disclose personal information as expressly authorized in writing by a lottery prize winner for marketing, advertising or promotional purposes.
