HB 390 Mississippi House · 2025 Regular Session

Lottery tickets; authorize alcohol package retailer's permit holders to be lottery retailers and sell.

HB 390 allows existing alcohol package retailers in Mississippi to sell lottery tickets. The bill amends two laws: it makes holders of "package retailer's permits" (stores selling sealed alcoholic beverages for takeout) eligible to apply as lottery retailers under the state lottery law, and it explicitly permits them to sell lottery tickets if they hold both licenses. This directly affects alcohol retailers who currently cannot sell lottery tickets due to licensing restrictions. The change removes a barrier preventing these stores from offering lottery sales alongside their existing alcohol business, without altering lottery sales rules or requirements for other retailers.
