Description of Job

The Colorado Department of Revenue Lottery Divisionis looking to hire individuals to work as Minor Operatives. Minor Operatives are individuals who are hired through the State between the ages of 16 years old & 17 years old and are tasked with attempting to purchase lottery products from licensed establishments.

If you are interested, you will work directly with Lottery Division Investigators. The investigators will be watching nearby in the store and recording, as you attempt to purchase lottery tickets. You will work in an undercover capacity and may be required to be available to testify in criminal court and administrative hearings.
