Online Lottery Sales Bill in Minnesota

Gov. Mark Dayton says outside spending from gambling groups is influencing a push to ban online lottery sales in Minnesota.

Lawmakers have fast-tracked a bill to ban lottery sales online, at the gas pump and at ATMs.

They argue gambling shouldn’t be so convenient and say the lottery has expanded without legislative approval.

Dayton vetoed a similar bill last year and says he’ll do it again if one hits his desk.
