Lottery tickets; authorize alcohol package retailer's permit holders to be lottery retailers and sell.

HB 683 allows Mississippi alcohol package retailers (stores selling sealed alcohol packages) to apply to become lottery retailers and sell lottery tickets. The bill amends state law to make holders of alcohol package permits eligible for lottery retailer status under the Alyce G. Clarke Mississippi Lottery Law, subject to standard requirements like tax compliance and no disqualifying criminal history. This change would enable alcohol stores to expand their sales to include lottery tickets at their existing locations. The bill was introduced in 2025 but died in committee in February 2025.
