The City Council’s decision this week to allow Georgia Lottery Corp. to sell tickets beyond security checkpoints at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport will create 30 million potential new customers , according to a Georgia Lottery official. Until now, tickets could not be sold to passengers awaiting connecting flights in terminals beyond checkpoints, meaning that only one-third of 96 million travelers who pass through the airport each year have had access to lottery ticket sales, Joe Kim , Georgia Lottery senior vice president and general counsel told WSB-TV.
