An Act establishing an online lottery

This bill authorizes the Massachusetts State Lottery Commission to offer lottery games online through websites and mobile apps. It directly affects residents who wish to play the lottery digitally by allowing them to purchase tickets within the state while ensuring they are at least 18 years old. Key provisions require strict age verification, limit transactions to those initiated within Massachusetts, and give players the ability to set deposit limits or voluntarily exclude themselves from playing. The legislation also mandates that online lottery accounts remain private and that the commission continues to promote traditional in-person sales through licensed agents.
