The Massachusetts state Lottery is one step closer to taking its action online following a favorable committee vote.
On Wednesday, the Joint Committee on Consumer Protection and Professional Licensure approved an amended version of Sen. Jennifer Flanagan’s S-151, which would allow the Lottery to offer its products both online and via mobile apps.
Flanagan’s bill, which was introduced over a year ago, doesn’t specify what type of products might be on offer, only that the Massachusetts Lottery Commission “shall determine the types of lottery or lotteries to be conducted.”
Last December, the MLC issued a request for proposals from technology companies for an “iLottery system” that had the capacity to handle “digital versions of existing and new lottery games, including but not limited to social gaming and daily fantasy sports options.”
