Gov. Daniels to be in Cross Plains Friday
Check to be presented to RCCF

Governor Mitch Daniels will travel to Otter's Grocery in Cross Plains on Friday, March 4 in Indiana's new RV One to talk about new measures taken by the Hoosier Lottery to improve security and strengthen ethical standards.

The governor will also present a check to the Ripley County Community Foundation (RCCF) on behalf of the Hoosier Lottery.

The Lottery is providing the contribution as a goodwill gesture following last year's security breach involving a fraudulently purchased $1 mil
lion winning scratch-off ticket that had been purchased at Otter's Grocery.

Hoosier Lottery Executive Director Esther Q. Schneider will join Daniels in Cross Plains to discuss the new ethical procedures and security controls implemented by the Lottery that will identify and prevent security problems.

"The Hoosier Lottery is adhering to the Governor's call for higher ethical standards in state government. We are also bolstering our security mechanisms to protect the integrity of Lottery," said Schneider.
