Minnesota Lottery adds age verification to vending machinesReply
A lot of states have this now. Hopefully Minnesota is smarter with their rollout then Colorado was a couple years ago. Colorado neglected to add out-of-state ID's to their database. I remember I had to send the Colorado Lottery a pic of the back of my Oregon ID (for the barcode).

MUSL to launch "X's and O's," a new multi-state Powerball NFL gameReply
The Colorado Lottery has an app. It can scan any Colorado lottery ticket, including Powerball. I don't see the point of a Powerball only app. While Powerball is a multi-state game, the tickets are sold by individual state lotteries. There is no chance of me playing an NFL lottery game.

Colorado Lottery approves credit card purchases and online ticket salesReply
Terrible idea. Other states have legalized credit cards to play the lottery because they're greedy. Colorado should not join this club. If the lottery isn't bringing in enough money, the state needs to raise taxes or cut spending (preferably the latter), not fleece the population by dangling easy CC debt in front of them.
