LIVE:

THE CALIFORNIA STATE LOTTERY GAVE AWAY FIFTY-DOLLARS WORTH OF GASOLINE TO THE FIRST TWO-HUNDRED PEOPLE IN LINE TODAY AT A SERVICE STATION IN THE SACRAMENTO AREA. THE LOTTERY IS HOLDING THE PROMOTIONS ALL OVER THE STATE.

SUPER: TODAY/SACRAMENTO

VO: (:25)

THE LOTTERY'S LATEST GIMMICK TO INCREASE LAGGING SALES COMES IN THE FORM OF A GAS GIVEAWAY ON DIFFERENT DAYS, IN DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE STATE. THE CATCH IS THAT THOSE WHO GET THE GAS HAD TO PURCHASE TEN DOLLARS WORTH OF LOTTERY TICKETS. LOTTERY SPOKESWOMAN MONIQUE BLUE SAYS THAT SURPRISING PEOPLE AT THE GAS PUMP IS SEEN AS A WAY TO REMIND PEOPLE OF THE STATE'S LOTTERY AND ITS MANY GAME OFFERINGS.

SUPER: MONIQUE BLUE/CALIFORNIA LOTTERY

SOT: (:13)

SAYS: "WHAT WE ARE DOING...GET NEW PLAYERS AS WELL."

VO TAG:

THE LOTTERY'S POOR SALES PERFORMANCE PER CAPITA IN CALIFORNIA HAS LED TO PLANS FOR PRIVATIZING THE OPERATION AND BORROWING FROM FUTURE REVENUE TO HELP FINANCE STATE GOVERNMENT. BUT PROBLEMS ON WALL STREET HAVE THROWN THE PLAN INTO UNCERTAINTY.
