The Lottery reserves the right to clarify, modify, amend, alter, or withdraw any information requested by or contained in this RFI. The responses provided as the result of this RFI will not constitute any type of bidding process by the Lottery but may be used for informational purposes in the development of a competitive bid which may or may not be conducted in the future. This RFI is not intended to conflict with or usurp any existing or future contractual relationships between the Lottery and any vendor for any other form of gaming. 

The Lottery invites Vendors to provide a Vendor Information Package of not more than 200 pages in length that includes all information requested in the MINIMUM SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS OF RESPONSE section of this RFI. Submissions must be provided electronically through OhioBuys.
