INDIANAPOLIS — The Hoosier Lottery will consider whether players in Indiana should be allowed to purchase tickets online for Powerball, Mega Millions and instant games.  It could provide millions of dollars in gambling revenue as in bordering states.

IGT Indiana, which runs the state lottery, said it will study the technology, marketing strategy, capital investment and employees needed to launch online games, as well as projected profit.

It will present an action plan to the Hoosier Lottery Commission in 2020, which could enable online sales without legislative authorization according to the Indiana Business Journal.

Illinois and Georgia were among the earliest to roll out online lottery sales in 2012. Now, all of Indiana’s neighboring states except Ohio, allow online sales.

Indiana’s Fuel & Food Association said that more research needs to be done before they issue an opinion.

Members of the organization sell 75% of Indiana’s lottery tickets.
