To whom are you addressing your request? Illinois doesn't have a representative at LP, you probably get a reply if you just sent an e-mail to their lottery website.

What a great news for lottery enthusiast like me. I am wondering if I could also purchase online ticket from here in the Philippines. Please let me know, cause I want to take my luck too on other lotteries aside from the lottery play here in the Philippines.

They will probably put limits on how much any player can deposit, but it won't prevent anyone from buying tickets in stores. The problem gambler provision was put in to appease anti-gambling groups.

Oh it's easy. There will be a question: Do you have any problems with gambling?

If no, knock yourself out.

If yes, please be resposible and go ahead knock yourself out.

Yeah, IL is not like MA. It is so strict that you cannot purchase online unless you are using registered home IP address. But this good since when IL wins from online play, we know it will be an Illinoisan...who will be quickly making plans to leave the state

I would love to be able to play online. The stores by me only take cash, and I don't often carry cash on me. A small inconvenience, but playing online would allow me to use my debit card at least.

I tried to register for an account at the Illinois lottery website but unfortunately it says on the form, Must be an Illinois address, the form also requires you to put in your social security number.

I think that will be a very profitable move for the state. If it is then other states will surely follow.

I'm sure that there are a lot of 'shut-ins' that would love to play.

Illinois needs extra money to keep all their former governors in jail and stuff.

But online play is inevitable in all states.

They're all just being bashful right now.

Someone whose betting $10,000 a day, and whose credit card keeps bouncing.

Maybe if they gave it away along with some free scratchers, and threw in a case of Jack Daniels.

Maybe Tennessee should be auctioned off online.

Tennessee has cheated the players for years,count me in.

Illinois to sell Powerball lottery tickets online

Lottery Post — Thu, 30 Aug 2012 12:44:06 GMT

Illinois is going to sell Powerball lottery tickets on the Internet, and at least one lawmaker predicts a big payday.

Sen. Jeff Schoenberg says online sales could produce an additional $25 million a year for state government. The Evanston Democrat says the money will pay for public works projects and create jobs around the state.

Illinois became the first state to sell lottery tickets online when it started offering Lotto and Mega Millions tickets in March. A new law adds Powerball to that... [ More ]
