State officials say the lottery owes the treasury tens of thousands of dollars for a big bash.
Lotto officials threw a $40,000-plus party last fall.
Lotto workers got to dine on prime rib and had a chance to win prizes like iPods, digital cameras, gift cards and a Nintendo Wii (wee) game system.
But state treasury officials say the employee recognition party went beyond what's acceptable and lottery has to repay most of the money.
