House approves online lottery ticket sales

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

The Georgia House passed legislation today to allow online lottery ticket sales.

The bill, sponsored by Rep. Terry Barnard (R-Glennville), would allow lottery players to buy their tickets via the Internet through either electronic fund transfer or debit card.

Barnard’s bill initially also allowed credit card purchases, but that idea was killed in committee.

The bill passed the House 98 to 48 and now goes to the state Senate for consideration.
