GA lottery retailer bonds.
Flat 3%. Enter your amount.
The Georgia Lottery Corporation can require a retailer to post a financial-security bond as a condition of selling lottery tickets — typically when the retailer doesn’t meet the GLC’s financial standards. The GLC sets the amount; we issue it at a flat 3%, $275 minimum, with one soft credit pull.

What it is and who needs it.
What the lottery bond actually covers
The Georgia Lottery Corporation (GLC) contracts with retailers to sell lottery tickets, and under O.C.G.A. § 50-27-19 it can require a retailer to provide financial security as a condition of that contract. A surety bond is one accepted form — a cash escrow or letter of credit are alternatives.
A bond is generally required from retailers who don’t meet the GLC’s financial-responsibility standards. The bond stands behind the ticket proceeds you collect on the GLC’s behalf — if a retailer fails to remit what it owes the lottery, the GLC can recover against the bond.
The amount is set by the GLC and is generally capped at twice the ticket-sales average of the retailer’s district for two billing periods. It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. We issue the amount the GLC names at a flat 3% with a soft credit pull.
