The tickets are sold by street vendors and kiosks, where they are sold by authorised sellers, including many who are visually impaired. Money raised directly goes into programs that provide blind and disable people with jobs, training and support on a daily basis. The players scratch the card or wait until the draw is made. Any winnings are paid after the checks.
