Vermont Puts AMBER Through Lottery Terminals
The state's new AMBER Alert notification system uses all of Vermont's lottery terminals and tickets
On Tuesday, Vermont Gov. Jim Douglas joined Vermont Lottery Director Alan Yandow and Vermont State Police Major Robert White at the Maplewood Convenience Store in Berlin to announce a new AMBER Alert notification system using all of Vermont's lottery terminals and tickets.

"It is imperative that we are able to channel our law enforcement and communication resources quickly to spread the word of a child abduction," Douglas said. "Vermont's AMBER Alert system allows us to engage all of our communities in the effort to locate the child and the suspect, and this new notification system adds significantly to our ability to communicate essential information."
