How Do Lottery Bonds Work?

A lottery bond functions as a legally binding contract that brings three parties together:

1. Obligee: The government agency requiring the lottery bond
2. Principal: The individual or business purchasing the bond
3. Surety: The company providing the bond and backing the principal

How Are Claims Handled for Lottery Bonds?

Specific consequences vary by state, but the obligee can file a claim if the lottery seller misappropriates any lottery funds or tampers with machinery. The surety is responsible for paying reparation up to the full bond value. Then, the principal must reimburse the surety for those funds.
