The use of internet seems unavoidable. People from all corners of the globe can get connected very easily after the internet starts to exist. A lot of things can be searched and obtained just with a click.
One of great things that become much easier with the internet is the possibility to purchase lottery tickets online. People from all over the world can join the exciting game online from behind their desk. Lottery players are just screens away.
There is good news for all Powerball players because soon the state of Illinois will allow the online Powerball lottery tickets. People will not have to get up from their seat and get out as they can obtain the tickets right from in front of their computer.
With this policy, Illinois will be the first state to sell the Powerball lottery tickets via the internet. According to Sen. Jeff Schoenberg, the government expects to get more revenue with the online sales. He added that approximately $25 million is expected to be obtained each year as the state’s income. This money will be used to fund some public works and also create more job opportunities.
It is going to be a breakthrough and more people will certainly like the idea of getting the tickets online but the state will also consider problems with the stores and other places selling the tickets off line. Hopefully this new policy will not decrease their profits.
