RENTON, Wash. - The Seahawks and the Washington State Lottery are exploring putting team logos on scratch-off games.

A spokesman for the NFL team said Thursday the Seahawks are negotiating with officials from the state lottery.

On Wednesday, the league decided to allow its teams to make deals with lotteries.

The New England Patriots were the first to announce a licensing agreement.

A spokeswoman for the Washington State Lottery says the organization will be looking at possibly using Seahawks' logos beyond the existing agreement the Lottery has for in-stadium advertising and prize promotions with Qwest Field and its adjoining events center.
