WALLINGFORD - State Representative Christie Carpino toured the Connecticut Lottery at their new Wallingford headquarters earlier this week and met with the CEO Frank Suarez and senior staff.
As a lawmaker, Carpino plays an important oversight role when it comes to the state lottery. Lawmakers set the laws that govern how the Lottery operates. While the Lottery Corporation operates as a quasi-public agency, meaning it runs its day-to-day business independently, it’s still accountable to the legislature and the public.
Carpino was particularly interested in learning more about the numerous checks and balances that protects the integrity of Connecticut's games. In addition, she learned more about their commitment to Responsible Gaming and how to prevent problem gambling.
