Arkansans could be buying lottery tickets by the end of September says the Lottery Director.
September 28th to be exact.
The idea was suggested by Ernie Passailaigue this afternoon in Little Rock during a Lottery Commission meeting at Philander Smith College.
In other business, the commission voted to save an estimated $800,000 a year on live drawings and use a random number generator instead.
That was one of several cost saving measures that Passailaigue suggested to commissioners.
He also told the panel that eliminating lottery sponsorships would save another $800,000. The commission voted for the cost cutting idea but left open the possibility for promotion hires, saving about $675,000.
