ORIGINAL STORY:
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (ADAMS) – A bill to allow online lottery sales has passed the Indiana House Public Policy Committee. Lottery officials have been pushing for online sales for several years, as Illinois, Kentucky, and Michigan are among the 18 states with those sales.
Officials say if the bill is approved and signed by Governor Braun, online lottery sales wouldn’t start until the summer of 2027 due to the time needed to hire vendors and set up measures to prove buyers are 18 or older and within Indiana state lines. The bill is now before the full House.
