The Administrator of the National Lottery, Taina Gautreau de Windt, announced yesterday that her organization will be awarding 30,000 scholarships for the children of lottery ticket vendors to attend university. She announced the new program at the launch of the Fifth National Census of Lottery Ticket Vendors, which collects statistics on the quality of life and work of the vendors. The census results will be used to design benefits for the vendors. The scholarship program will put into operation once the revenues start from the new electronic lottery game due to commence shortly.
