Its so NOTcool for the Government to feel like they have to babysit adults.

People spend thousands of dollars a year on on-line pornographic materials, I have no problem with the way one chooses to spend their hard earn dollars spend it on line, in line, what difference does it make? u cant take it with you so enjoy it while you still have all your facultities to make your own decisions.

MN get off the gas. $50.00 a week is just to make the skeptics feel like you are doing something right,... [ More ]

Virginia Lottery lets you set up a subscription from their website (you have to have a checking account and instate mailing address - same as all the other state lotteries that I've seen offer subscriptions), but they only offer subscriptions for the Mega Millions and the Win For Life games. I have a subscription for each - and it's nice because I always know I have a shot at each of them. They send reminder emails out early enough that I can renew long before they run out. I wish they'd offer s... [ More ]

on line purchase of lottery tickets with a subscrition seems like a good idea ( the government control facter NO!) I would still want the retailers . whether its buy on line or a retailer the bottom line is still Win get Paid.

Personally,I would never buy lottery tickets online.I don't trust computers enough to send my personal information or my money over the internet.But I don't have a problem with letting those that want to gamble online do it.As long as they don't expect taxpayers to reimburse them for their losses if they get scammed out of their money.

It's a terrible idea. It's reprehensible, said Assistant Senate Majority Leader David Hann, an Eden Prairie, Minn., Republican who tried to abolish the lottery six years ago.

Every state has one of these legislators that believes they know what's best for all the people even though they only represent a very small percentage. What is so terrible about buying lottery tickets online with the same numbers for the next week, month, six months or year?

As hard as I try, I can't find anything w... [ More ]

Yes. Plus going to the store, meeting people, hearing their lottery and number stories is still the way to go.

Yeah, retailers is still prefer. Online play accounted for only 5% from total sales... People are accustomed to buying real tickets instead electronic tickets which lottery officials sent them through email.

This is a good debate. It doesn't bother me as long as they continue to sell tickets through retail outlets. Also, retail outlets need to stay in place due to the fact that some people just don't do online things or have a computer. And then there are days when home computers or for that matter the state lotteries computer system may crash, so we have to keep the retailer in place. A perfect example of this is The Atlantic Lottery site down for 3 days. (see Lottery Post news article.

A quiet revolution in gambling is under way in Minnesota.

Without a single press release or announcement, the Minnesota State Lottery is nearly a year into an experiment to get more Minnesotans to gamble online through a subscription lottery service.

Private online gambling is illegal in Minnesota, and the state's elected leaders have turned back various gambling expansion proposals and online gambling ventures.

But in the waning months of Gov. Tim Pawlenty's administration, the Minneso... [ More ]
