That makes sense, too, actually.

State laws vary, as it's gambling you can't use a credit card. It says you can use a debit card, but I've never tried.

Imagine how many more tickets would be sold if they allowed credit cards in all 50 states.

Actually that's bs, Michigan allows buying tickets through their app, and it takes a card (debit card) so I dunno.

I did some quick Googling, too, and apparently it varies state to state but, with the exception of some weird cases like the Michigan app, you can't use a credit card. Like you said... Credit and gambling are not good bedfellows.

I understand the reasoning for not allowing it, but to then allow it on the app seems a wee bit hypocritical.

I have an empty credit card with a $25k limit. SURELY that's enough to get at least one winning ticket, right?

sam_spider

Absolutely.

or say your card was stolen etc

cash is king for the lottery as it should be

Oh yea, thats another good one. Don't win, then suddenly realize that credit card was "stolen" lol

sam_spider

lol. Yeah, that would be difficult now with not needing to sign anymore.
