Lottery Ticket Purchases by Debit Card

Nov 01, 2011 at 06:15 am by Bryan Barrett


There may be a new change in the way you can pay for a lottery ticket in Tennessee. Lawmakers are considering allowing lottery ticket purchases on debit cards. Right now, lottery tickets can only be purchased with cash. Right now, 33 of the 44 states that have lotteries allow for debit card purchases of lottery tickets. Some states even allow for lottery ticket purchase with a credit card. Another idea the Lottery Stabilization Task Force is looking into is reducing lottery payouts. Reducing payouts would allow for more money to be used for lottery scholarships.
