North
Dakota
has
Online
Gambling
April
24,
2008
It
would
seem
that
online
gambling
when
it
pertains
to
the
lottery
is
not
only
legal,
but
fruitful
as
well.
North
Dakota
has
been
running
an
online
gambling
lottery
for
about
four
years
now,
and
the
way
they
do
it
is
an
example
that
could
be
followed
by
other
states.
They
do
not
actually
spend
the
money
to
run
an
online
lottery
of
their
own,
but
they
allow
their
residents
to
gambling
in
online
games
that
are
offered
from
other
states.
Since
starting
this
idea,
the
state
has
gotten
more
than
$28
million
put
into
its
general
fund,
and
they
see
no
reason
to
add
their
own
lottery
as
this
one
works
so
well
for
them.
Instant
tickets
end
up
being
expensive,
so
they
have
less
overhead
with
the
online
lottery
than
they
would
if
they
had
to
mass
produce
the
tickets
like
other
places
do.
The
money
is
pooled
among
all
of
the
states
that
participate
in
it,
and
when
someone
wins
it
doesn’t
matter
which
state
they
are
from
–
they
still
win
the
pot.
They
have
some
very
popular
online
gambling
games
such
as
Powerball,
which
is
probably
one
of
the
most
popular
if
not
the
most
popular
out
of
all
of
them.
Even
those
that
don’t
live
in
the
area
of
North
Dakota
have
heard
of
the
Powerball
lottery.
However,
it
is
simply
one
more
game
that
they
offer.
They
give
a
lot
of
options
for
their
players,
as
do
the
other
states
that
are
involved
in
it.
They
are
projecting
even
better
revenue
for
this
year
than
last
as
it
has
gotten
even
more
popular
over
the
years.
