260 MARYLAND MANUAL sales outlets are selected from existing retail establishments that obtained their tickets from and return unsold tickets and revenue from the sale of tickets to the designated banks. Weekly drawings are held in various locations of the State, and prizes are claimed through registration with any of the Claim Centers located in selected existing commercial establishments and public facilities throughout the State. Millionaire drawings are held periodically depending on the accumulation of sufficient prize money. All revenue received from the sale of lottery tickets, less the au- thorized commission of the sales agents, is placed into a special account known as the State Lottery Fund. From the Fund, the Comp- troller first pays for the operation and administration of the Lottery including the expenses of the Agency as allowed in the annual State budget. Fifty percent (50%) of the remainder of the moneys in the fund are distributed as prize money, and the remaining fifty percent (50%) is placed into the General Fund of the State on a calendar year basis (Const. 1867, Art. Ill, sec. 36; Code 1957, 1969 Repl. Vol., 1972 Supp., Art. 88D).

Henry, Assistant Adjutant General for Air Fifth Regiment Armory, Baltimore 21201 Telephone: 728-3388 The Charter of Maryland empowered Lord Baltimore to raise troops to put down insurrection or rebellion and to subdue the enemies of the province. Since that time the organization, maintenance, and administration of the State militia has been an integral part of the State's functions. The present military establishment of Maryland conforms to Title 32, U.S. Code and regulations issued pursuant there- to, and to the Militia Law of Maryland (Code 1957, 1968 Repl. Vol., Art. 65). The Adjutant General is appointed by the Governor with the consent of the Senate and serves until his successor is appointed and qualified or until he is removed from office as a result of sentence imposed by court martial (Const. 1867, IX, 2). The Ranking Line Officer (at the present time also the Adjutant General) is head of the Military De- partment and exercises all his powers and duties under the Militia Law of Maryland. The Military Department prepares all State forms and records required for use by the militia, and the reports and returns required by the Federal Government. It maintains a register of all commis- sioned officers, and service records of all officers and enlisted men of the Maryland National Guard. The Ranking Line Officer is the custodian of all State and Federal property used by the organized militia and apportions and provides for the proper application of funds for the military establishment. |
