Andy Sanborn, a former State Senator and owner of the Concord Casino, has requested a public hearing before the New Hampshire Lottery Commission to challenge the state’s determination that he is unsuitable for charitable gaming due to the fraudulent use of COVID-19 relief funds.
At the public hearing, Sanborn will be defending both the casino’s license and his operator license in front of the three-member New Hampshire Lottery Commission and the state’s Attorney General, which investigated his uses of funds and casino operations from January to August.
Both agencies found that Sanborn fraudulently obtained $844,00 in COVID relief funds, which casinos are ineligible to receive, to support his lavish lifestyle.
