Why the heck not???
However a $5 limit will be imposed.....LMFAO!!!
ATLANTA, Georgia (AP) -- Georgia lawmakers are considering creating a first-in-the-nation online lottery that would allow people to buy a ticket without having to stop in at a convenience store or a gas station.
"We're trying to target a market that may not be part of the lottery now -- techies or professional people tied to computers all day," said state Rep. Terry Barnard.
Legislators are seeking ways to boost lottery ticket sales, which pay for college scholarships.
Barnard's bill, scheduled for a vote Thursday, would create a Web site where people could play up to $5 a day on debit or credit cards. Under existing law, lottery sales are strictly cash-only.
Lottery officials are skeptical about online sales, which are complicated by federal gambling laws.
"There is some uncertainty about whether it's legal," lottery spokesman J.B. Landroche said.
