BOSTON (FOX 25 / MyFoxBoston.com) - There is s a push on Beacon Hill to sell Lottery tickets online. Proponents of the plan – including U.S. Rep. Barney Frank – say it could eventually spike sales by 10 percent to 25 percent, boosting state coffers by as much as $1 billion a year. Lawmakers will mull a bill Tuesday requiring the state Lottery to launch a pilot program letting players use their credit cards to buy tickets on the Internet. But the proposal faces some opposition.
Barney frank is just fucking with us on purpose now, right? Like the man who put his name onto the biggest cop-out, piece of shit, anti-american, banking regulations law in the history of America is cool with absolute degenerates sitting at home plugging in their credit card information and playing scratch tickets and the through the convenience of the internet? Fucking kidding me?
The bright side is I’ll be able to swing into my local Tedeschi's without wading through the handful of boozehound degenerates who you know haven’t showered today, just woke up rolled over to the convenience store and started binging on beer and keno. Not having to deal with that anymore will be a plus.
On the other hand, if you’re going to allow this then bring back online poker and gambling. I’m not going to look it up, but I can safely assume Barney Frank had a huge hand in Black Friday for poker sites, and now he’s backing state sponsored online gambling? Huge shock. Guy is becoming one of the biggest hacks this state has ever seen, and we’ve seen quite a few.
