(a)The Department shall offer a special instant scratch-off game for the benefit of Alzheimer's care, support, education, and awareness. The game shall commence on January 1, 2020 or as soon thereafter, at the discretion of the Director, as is reasonably practical. The operation of the game shall be governed by this Act and any rules adopted by the Department.

(b)The net revenue from the Alzheimer's care, support, education, and awareness scratch-off game shall be deposited into the Alzheimer's Awareness Fund.

Moneys received for the purposes of this Section, including, without limitation, net revenue from the special instant scratch-off game and from gifts, grants, and awards from any public or private entity, must be deposited into the Fund. Any interest earned on moneys in the Fund must be deposited into the Fund.

As used in this subsection, "net revenue" means the total amount for which tickets have been sold less the sum of the amount paid out in the prizes and to retailers, and direct and estimated administrative expenses of the Department solely related to the scratch-off game under this Section.

(c)During the time that tickets are sold for the Alzheimer's care, support, education, and awareness scratch-off game, the Department shall not unreasonably diminish the efforts devoted to marketing any other instant scratch-off lottery game.

(d)The Department may adopt any rules necessary to implement and administer the provisions of this Section.
