Nevadans mourn shuttering of California Lottery's top-selling retailerReply
shy1979, When I worked in Vegas casinos one of my shift bosses told everyone who asked why no lottery in Nevada, The joints want it all . Prior to Primm there was a small town not too far into CA that did a lot of lottery business from people from Vegas. The town is basically a railroad stop, Nipton I think. I wonder if Vegas people will go there again. Interesting story on Primm, at the time they opened CA law said to sell CA lottery tickets a business had to have been on location for five year

Colorado bill would ban credit card lottery ticket purchases and online salesReply
They can have someone else buy lottery tickets for them if they're that interested. If not, well, what's the harm in not playing the lottery? Not losing money is not such a bad thing. Most people who buy lottery tickets online are not severely disabled. They're lazy.

Montana Lottery aims to prohibit bulk purchases after group takes gamble on $1.6 million jackpotReply
The buyer's address is in London, England. The store was not in Madison, MT as the story says, rather it was in Ennis, MT as there is no Madison, MT. My daughter lives in Ennis, MT and reports that the retailer is not a gas station, bar, supermarket so not like any other lotto retailer in Montana, but just a building with no other business. It is a front set up precisely to facilitate this nonsense. The company that owns this store has a phone app to buy lottery lottery tickets. Who

Florida bill would enhance criminal penalties for lottery retailer theft and fraudReply
One potential update involves expanding the law to allow sworn law enforcement officers employed by the Lottery's Division of Security to purchase lottery tickets and present them to retailers to claim a prize when it is necessary for undercover duties Are they morons? Losing tickets are useless for enforcement purposes, most tickets are losers, and they'll have to pay retailers a commission on every ticket, so why buy regular tickets from retailers? If they want to check to see if retailer

Arizona Lottery delays expiration date of $12.8 million jackpot-winning ticket in legal battleReply
Evidently it must have been against company policy for employees to purchase rejected tickets The stories I've seen have said the policy is that employees can't buy (any) lottery tickets at the store they work at , not just while they're working. There's also the whole deception angle of attempting to buy the ticket in the hopes that the company didn't yet know they owned a ticket worth far more than face value. I don't see any way that it was a lawful sale/purchase. Unprecedented move
