They just started a pilot in California where you can buy lottery tickets at the pump, charged to your card.

Good lord. I sure as hell hope that the individual serial numbers of those lottery tickets are going to be tracked. People will be mugged, and the thief will go straight to the gas station to get lottery tickets. I also hope that the person robbed will be entitled to the winning lottery ticket if it is tracked and the thief tries to cash it out.

California must be getting desperate. I miss my home state but am ultimately glad I moved away from there.

You can't buy lottery tickets in Florida. Against state law. I know it will work in credit card. Just don't know why they don't let you do it.
