What is this bond?

A Minnesota Lottery Retailer Bond is a type of financial guarantee required by the state for businesses authorized to sell state lottery tickets. It guarantees that the retailer will properly account for and remit all proceeds from lottery ticket sales to the state lottery system.

Who needs it?

Convenience stores, gas stations, supermarkets, and other retail businesses in Minnesota that wish to sell lottery tickets typically need this bond. The Minnesota State Lottery will notify business owners if they require this specific surety bond to finalize their retailer contract.

Why is it required?

The obligee generally requires this bond to protect state funds from theft, fraud, or mismanagement by the retailer. It provides a financial safety net for the state to recover losses if a business fails to forward the lottery revenue collected from consumers.
