(2) “Concurrent legislation” means legislation enacted by one of the party states which is concurred in by the other party states in the form of enactments having like effect;

(3) “Lotto” means a game of lotto as prescribed by the Commission;

(4) “Party states” means the states of New Hampshire, Maine, Vermont, and Delaware; and

(5) “Tri-State Lotto” means a combined lotto game for all member states, with common tickets, common advertising and a common prize pool.
