RE: FOIL Records Request of February 23, 2023, Reference # R000025-022323
Dear Nathan Lechner,
This letter responds to your request for records under the Freedom of Information Law received by the NYS Gaming Commission on February 23, 2023. You requested: "Any record of a sports wager placed that exceeds 10 thousand dollars. The wager can include horse racing, online sports wagering, or lottery entries. The wager can be done on paper or on an online platform."
Please note that the Commission does not maintain a record of sports wagers that exceed $10,000 and therefore has no records responsive to your request.
Pursuant to Public Officers Law ยง 89(4)(a) you have 30 days to submit a written appeal of this determination to:
Gaming Commission FOIL Appeals Officer
PO Box 7500
Schenectady, NY 12301-7500
