An Act relative to establishing an online lottery

This bill authorizes the Massachusetts State Lottery Commission to offer lottery games online through websites and mobile applications. It directly affects lottery players by allowing them to purchase tickets digitally while requiring strict age verification to prevent minors from accessing the service. The legislation mandates that all online transactions must occur within the state and includes consumer protections such as limits on deposit amounts and the ability for players to voluntarily exclude themselves from online play. Additionally, the bill clarifies that funds in online accounts belong solely to the account owner and establishes rules regarding the privacy of personal information for online participants.
