A Beacon Hill push under way today to sell Lottery tickets online — which backers say could boost cash-strapped state coffers by as much as $1 billion a year — is getting strong support from an unlikely corner — liberal icon U.S. Rep. Barney Frank… Lawmakers today are slated to mull a bill requiring the state Lottery to launch a pilot program letting players use their credit cards to buy tickets on the Internet — a plan proponents say could eventually spike sales by 10 percent to 25 percent, potentially raising another $1 billion a year for hard-pressed cities and towns.
25 percent. Thats it? I'm thinking more like 50 percent. Beacon Hill is underestimating how many people creep on the internet. So your trying to tell me that I can watch the Bruins, creep on chicks through Facebook and now buy a mega millions ticket all from my lazy-boy recliner? I mean half the reason I don't buy lottery tickets because I always think of it last minute and I don't feel like driving all the way to the gas station to stand in line with all those psycho degenerate gamblers. You know, those grimy lookin fuckers that play Keno for a half hour, buy a few scratch tickets and then go out to their car and scratch them only to walk right back in 5 minutes later to repeat the whole process all over again? No thanks. Those people make me feel like a loser everytime I try to play the lottery. Now I can feel like a winner while getting my lotto ticket online in between my Facebook creeping of Jenny's "Summer 2011 With My Besties!" bikini photos.
If this shit really goes down I am going to be gambling like a son of a bitch, swimming in Money
