Colorado lottery buyers face new purchase limits

The Colorado Lottery and licensed sellers cannot sell lottery or instant scratch tickets on credit or online. Tickets must be paid for with cash or cash equivalents, including checks, money orders, and debit cards. This limits payment options while reducing the risk of borrowing for lottery purchases. The Lottery Commission must adopt rules covering sales revenue collection and the credit-sale ban. Its rules also cover scratch-ticket prize payments and seller compensation to keep tickets available and convenient to buy.
