Latest On The Lottery Bills Mississippi

The Mississippi house is down to a single bill that might be used to create a state lottery.
And, it’s unclear whether that bill will come up for a vote before a today’s deadline. Going into Wednesday, three bills had potential as lottery legislation. However, House Speaker Philip Gunn ruled that a lottery amendment could not be added to a bill increasing prize money for charity bingo or a bill that originally was about the competency of someone to stand trial.
Gunn said a lottery amendment was relevant to a bill to regulate and set a tax on wagering on daily fantasy sports.
