Delaware Balances Online Lottery and Local Stores

Delaware Balances Online Lottery and Local Stores

Published 2 days, 2 hours ago
Description

Delaware’s lawmakers are pushing a new bill to ensure local lottery retailers still profit from the growing online lottery market, proposing players buy prepaid cards from stores to access digital games. While supporters argue it honors a 2012 law and protects small businesses—especially rural ones—Lottery Director Helene Keeley warns it could hinder online growth. Yet, data shows Delaware’s retail sales have risen since online games launched, and neighboring states haven’t suffered setbacks. Now, officials are negotiating with retailers to strike a balance that fuels digital expansion without sidelining longtime brick-and-mortar partners.
