BILL BEING DRAFTED TO PUT LOTTERY DRAWINGS ONLINE

An Assemblywoman plans to introduce legislation that would return live New Jersey Lottery drawings to television. The bill would require NJTV, the station that replaced NJN earlier this month, to televise lottery drawings for free. The New Jersey Lottery debuted a new live Internet version of the daily drawings after the state changed from the state-run NJN to the privately operated NJTV. Drawings are now only available online on the lottery’s website and its Facebook page.
