The five Hawaii Counties are spread out over several islands and hopefully each will have a terminal and a place to cash winning tickets over $6. Using Internet sales help that. The distance between the islands isn't the problem, but it's not the same as getting in our cars and driving if the nearest store if one is not on your island.

Because of the distance between cities, if Alaska ever purposes a state lottery, Online wagering will be a must.

I'll be very surprised if Hawaii gets casinos or a lottery, it's not like there's no gambling going on there and those running it are very happy with things as they are,

Well it's not like they can drive to another state to play!!

Sick and tired of a few dictating what folks can and cannot do, especially when it comes to gambling. Heck make Hawaii a non smoking, non drinking string of islands. Once again, let the voters decide.

Imagine them joining MUSL and an afternoon cut-off for the big boy lotteries.

If they get a State lottery going, it won't be long before they part of the Musl. Another island running with the big boys. Put another lei around the neck for luck

Lottery bill is passed by Senate education committee

By Kate Northrop

A bill that advocates for the creation of a state lottery was approved by the Hawaii Senate Education Committee on Wednesday, which means that the state is one step closer to potentially operating its own lottery.

Following Alabama, Hawaii is the latest state to push a lottery bill to the Senate Judiciary to further the discussion of starting a lottery that could generate additional revenue for the state.
