If they have security to prevent underage from playing I think there will be no problem to have online lottery games. Online lottery game is good for people because it's accessible. If they don't have enough money they should be responsible enough to know what is best for them.

Thanks for making an assupmption about me RDGNR. I support a law that was voted into law by the people of our state. When they legalize online lottery in Michigan I'd like to enjoy it from the privacy of my house, instead of having some minority of idiots trying to impose Their beliefs on the public.

Senator Jones and yourself however seem to have a stick up your respective asses. I won't suggest that you move from your State because I'm afraid you might move to mine. Deadhead... [ More ]

That's a good point. I read that supposedly some credit card companies monitor your transactions to see what you are doing and use that info to decide if you get a credit increase or not. Not sure if that is true, but it is something to think about.

In my state, online gambling is illegal and lottery tickets can only be bought with cash, no credit cards. Of course, some stores will sell them on credit cards anyway, and some still gamble online. Some credit card companies actually block gam... [ More ]

The people voted to legalize medical marijuana and Senator Jones immeadiately began to attack the law and neuter it.

Pothead, huh?

Just move to Colorado.

There, problem solved.

If you pay your speeding tickets with a card, they will see that too.

Ronnie316 — Wed, 17 Apr 2013 23:30:46 GMT

Anything that's on your bank statement they can see. Charges at the liquor store. Charges at the casino. Charges at the state lottery. Charges at the on-line gambling site. Charges at the liquor store. Charges at the adult shop.

You see what I mean

Even if online lottery is legal, I don't want to participate because I don't want my credit card company or bank to know that I am gambling

this would be darwinism at its finest. lose their money, homes, lives faster and get off the gov't books faster while putting money in state coffers. sounds like a win-win to me.

The Michigan legislature is controlled by a group of Conservative Republicans who want to control every factor of life in Michigan. I won't be surprised if Sen. Rick Jones, who I think is a publicity whore and anal retentive, tries to control bowel movements of men women and children in our state. The people voted to legalize medical marijuana and Senator Jones immeadiately began to attack the law and neuter it. These guys scream about the government control from Washington while at the same tim... [ More ]

These Michigan legislators sound incredibly silly. I wonder if they ever try listening to the things they're saying. If they did, they might not speak so much.

Lounging on the couch at home playing Keno and buying lottery tickets on your iPhone or computer doesn't sit well with some West Michigan lawmakers.

I know seniors right now whose Social Security doesn't last a month because they're buying lottery tickets at the local store. If they can do it from home, their checks will be gone in less than two weeks, said State Sen. Rick Jones, R-Grand Ledge.

A new game system called iLottery would begin offering online sales of single tickets and insta... [ More ]
