held by the Lottery to broker-dealers and other entities (borrowers). The State's custodial banks manage the securities

for the same securities in the future. The collateral securities cannot be pledged or sold by the State unless the
borrower defaults. Collateral securities are initially pledged at greater than the market value of the securities lent and
