SB 119 Louisiana Senate · 2026 Regular Session

LOTTERIES: Provides for the purchase of certain lottery tickets via the internet. (2/3 - CA12s6(a)(2)) (8/1/26) (OR INCREASE SD RV See Note)

SB 119 allows Louisiana residents aged 21 or older to purchase lottery tickets online, directly affecting Louisiana residents who buy lottery tickets. The bill creates new regulations requiring age verification (to prevent underage purchases) and location verification (to ensure purchases only occur within Louisiana). It defines "i lottery" as online ticket purchases and clarifies that these transactions do not constitute gambling under state law. The Louisiana Lottery Corporation must implement these rules through the Administrative Procedure Act, focusing on secure, location-based sales.
