The Colorado Lottery has announced plans to offer online sales of existing products – Lotto, Powerball, Mega Millions, and scratch tickets – by 2027 as part of a revenue push to support outdoor recreation and wildlife programs.
Lottery director Tom Seaver said online sales and easing a long‑standing ban on credit card purchases at retail would help the Lottery “keep growing in order to meet the needs of recipients.” Colorado Gov. Jared Polis’ office confirmed support for increased convenience and internet freedom.
A bipartisan group of legislators, however, have filed SB26‑117 to block online ticket sales and any change allowing credit card purchases, arguing consumers shouldn’t go into debt to play.
