Prohibits internet sale of lottery tickets by State Lottery Commission.
This bill (S 2159) prohibits New Jersey's State Lottery Commission from selling lottery tickets online through its own website or mobile apps. It also prevents the Commission or its contractors from acting as online sales agents for lottery games. The bill specifically exempts licensed courier services (as permitted under existing law) from this restriction. It blocks the Commission's planned 2024 rollout of direct internet sales while allowing couriers to continue online lottery ticket sales.
