Liquid_Files_Instructions_rev4-30-26.pdf

This document is an instructional guide issued by the California State Lottery that provides procedures for secure file transfer using their Liquid Files system. The guide outlines the process for external users to register and submit files to the California State Lottery through a secure portal. External users are required to register email accounts at https://fta.calottery.com and may submit files up to 5 GB in size. Files must be directed to designated Lottery email addresses (odanielson@calottery.com and ijen@calottery.com), with explicit instruction that submissions should not be sent to solicitations@calottery.com as such submissions will not be received. The system operates similarly to web-based email platforms, allowing users to enter recipient addresses, compose subject lines and messages, and attach files through a user-friendly interface.

The document specifies technical security parameters, including blocked file extensions (exe, vbs, pif, scr, bat, cmd, com, cp) designed to prevent potentially harmful files from being transmitted through the system. Shared mailboxes and distribution groups are not permitted as recipient addresses, ensuring that submissions reach individual, registered Lottery email accounts only. This instructional material serves as a procedural guide for managing external file submissions and does not contain pricing information, set-asides, funding amounts, or contract terms, as it functions as an operational protocol document for the file transfer system rather than a procurement solicitation or contract award notice.
