A. There is hereby created and established a state lottery, which shall be administered by a special corporation which shall be known as the "Louisiana Lottery Corporation". The corporation shall be managed in such a manner that enables the people of the state to benefit from its profits and to enjoy the best possible lottery games.
B. The existence of the corporation shall begin only upon confirmation of a majority of the members of the board by the Senate as provided in this Subtitle. Until the time of such confirmation, no business shall be conducted on behalf of the lottery.
C. Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary, no official action of any form shall be taken by the board at any time unless a majority of the members of the board shall have been confirmed by the Senate as provided in this Subtitle. Any action taken on behalf of the lottery when less than a majority of the members of the board have been confirmed shall have no effect.

F. The exclusive venue for any action or matter against the corporation arising out of or in connection with the issuance, nonissuance, delivery, or failure to deliver a lottery ticket or payment or nonpayment of a lottery prize is the parish in which it is domiciled, and the district court for that parish has exclusive jurisdiction thereof. For purposes of court costs, the corporation shall be a private corporation.
