hundred fourteen of this article. Within one week after any  drawing  or
selection  of  prize winning lottery tickets, the division shall deliver
to the comptroller a certified list of the tickets to which  prizes  are
awarded  and  the amount of each such prize. Upon receipt of such certi-

payment of lottery prizes shall be deposited by the director as provided
in section sixteen hundred eleven of this article and the withdrawal  of
such moneys for the payment of prize winners shall be subject to a check
signed  by the director or such officers or employees of the division as
the director may designate. The division shall each  month  provide  the
comptroller  with  a  record of all such withdrawals from the director's

paid pursuant to a court order granted as a result of  a  proceeding  as
provided  in  subdivision  d of this section, and except that any person
pursuant to an appropriate judicial order may be paid the prize to which
the winner is entitled.  THE DIVISION SHALL NOT  PUBLICLY  DISCLOSE  THE
