d. Fraud, deceit, misrepresentation or conduct prejudicial to public confidence in the state lottery;

e. With respect to a lottery sales agent, the number of lottery tickets sold by the lottery sales agent is insufficient to meet administrative costs and public convenience is adequately served by other licensees;

f. A material change, since issuance of the license, with respect to any matters required to be considered by the division under subdivision d or e of section sixteen hundred five of this article.

g. Conviction for misuse of food stamps pursuant to section one hundred forty-seven of the social services law.
