Takes away the fun of going in ELE7VEN on a freezing morning and getting a coffee and doughnut with it.

The BIG question: would players in other States be able to play nj tickets that way?

We should be able to play online whatever State we want.

If that happened then Powerball and Mega Millions could just be in one State that everyone logs in to play

I wonder what kind of fees will be involved that you would never find at your local retailer

You can't play with the U.S, state lotteries, but you might be able to play with online gambling companies that are outside the U.S and use the american lottery pick 3 and 4 results and pay more money for wins.

I don't know for sure, but I don't think so.

I believe intra-state online gambling was legalized (on a national level) but this was pretty recent so states now have to deal with it. I believe that if it becomes a big enough thing inter state gambling may become legal as well.

They would probably only sell them to addresses within the state since selling out of state might involve some federal regulations.

I was just thinking about this a couple months ago... AND I live in NJ so cool, if it it happens. The only downside is that vendors wouldn't get that little bit of commisison. Lottery Tickets really help small businesses. And it may not be possible to avoid taxes by buying (say) 10 $.50 bets on a number straight rather than one $5 bet on it.

Still, if they implement it, I would use it when I don't have time to go get a ticket.

Legislation that would allow people to buy New Jersey lottery tickets on the Internet and by other electronic means continues to advance in the state Assembly.

The Regulatory Oversight and Gaming Committee approved the measure this month and referred it to the chamber's Appropriations Committee, which hasn't yet scheduled a hearing on it.
