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

HB 548 changes Mississippi law to allow alcohol package retailers (stores selling alcohol in sealed containers) to also sell lottery tickets. It amends two sections of state law: first, by explicitly making holders of alcohol package retailer permits eligible to apply as lottery retailers under the Mississippi Lottery Law, and second, by permitting these retailers to actually sell lottery tickets from their existing locations. This bill directly affects current alcohol package retailers who hold valid permits under Mississippi's alcoholic beverage control law. The key change removes a prior barrier, enabling these businesses to offer lottery sales without needing separate licensing, while maintaining existing requirements like tax compliance and background checks for lottery retailers.
