Mass. Lottery may offer online gamesReply
Online ticket sales/subscriptions may be great for nations that don't tax lottery winnings. In the good ol' U.S of A however, online subscriptions have very nasty pitfalls.

When I win secondary prizes, I just use that money for more tickets, no questions asked.

Illinois to become first state to allow online lottery salesReply
Its a bout time the US embraced technology that other countries have been profiting from for years. If each state was to have online ticket sales, some of the dollars flowing out of this country might decrease. Just my thoughts.

Wisconsin lottery ticket sales increase $7.4 millionReply
Online ticket sales, however, dipped $3.8 million. Bohage said many of the lottery's online games have largely stagnated because they have been around for a long time.

Online ticket sales are inevitable. They can't be this oblivious to that fact. They also shouldn't be this oblivious to the fact that fighting change has NEVER wor
