Removes a provision that requires the Department of the Lottery to publish each January in the Illinois Register a list of all game-specific rules, play instructions, directives, operations manuals, brochures, or other game-specific publications issued by the Department during the previous year and instructions concerning how the public may obtain copies of these materials from the Department. Provides that the Department shall make an effort to more directly inform players of the odds of winning prizes by publishing the information for all games on the Department's public website. Provides that written play instructions shall be made available on the Department's public website or by the Department by request (rather than made available to all players through sales agents licensed to sell game tickets or shares).</SynopsisText></synopsis>
