Lottery ticket sold in Illinois wins $560 million Mega Millions jackpotReply
Very interesting point. So once again the minority rules. A few years ago had email Arizona lottery and believe had mentioned why not on line playing. Their reply was that the lottery has an agreement with the Tribal folks there and won't happen. They mailed me a nice Arizona lottery fridge magnet!!

Connecticut Lottery launches new system, players unable to check ticketsReply
Reading this article, it seems that some scratcher players have no idea what the game rules are, to the point where they don't know how to check whether they won anything or not. They drive around looking for machines that can check for a winner when a new system fails in that regard. I went to the Arizona website to try to determine the rules of the different scratcher games, and I couldn't find any! I won't play a game until I know the rules and odds, so I don't play scratchers in Arizona.

First $25 million scratch-off lottery prize claimed in MassachusettsReply
That's a sweet prize for a $50 scratcher. $50 over here in Arizona only gets you a top prize of 5 million. Our scratchers are horrible with payouts compared to other states.
