A PERSON WHO VIOLATES THIS SECTION IS GUILTY OF A MISDEMEANOR AND
ON CONVICTION IS SUBJECT TO IMPRISONMENT NOT EXCEEDING 60 DAYS OR A FINE

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from former Art. 27, § 363.
In subsection (a) of this section, the phrase "does not apply" is substituted
for the former phrase "may not be construed or interpreted as being
applicable" for brevity.
In subsection (b) of this section, the former reference to a person's "in any
way aiding or assisting in the same" is deleted because the distinctions
among principals and accessories before the fact have been abrogated. See
General Revisor's Note to article and CP § 4-204.
Also in subsection (b) of this section, the former reference to "the prizes
therein, or any of them" is deleted as included in the reference to "any prize
available in the lottery" for clarity.
In subsection (c) of this section, the former phrase "at the discretion of the
court" is deleted as implicit in the establishment of maximum penalties.
