Mobile Lottery Options
Playing the lottery can involve a trip to the lottery terminal, standing in long lines to purchase lottery tickets when the jackpots are big and dealing with traffic. Now some lotteries are giving lottery players the chance to purchase lottery tickets with mobile devices and cell phones. Many lotteries also allow internet access and the ability to create a lottery account online. Social networking websites such as Twitter allow lottery players to check lottery results instantly using cell phones and other mobile devices.

There are mobile phone applications that allow lottery players access to services that will help the player pick lottery numbers. Statistics have shown that most big lottery winners have had their ‘lucky’ numbers picked by some sort of random number generator. There are many services available that provide access to lottery number generators and these can easily be found online. Many of these services offer free accounts and also provide lottery results.
Lottery players who find themselves in another city or town can use mobile maps to find the nearest lottery retailer.

In the US some states have now established websites and some allow players to make an online lottery purchase. Although there have been some problems with online ticket sales due to anti online gambling legislation in the US the problems are swiftly being resolved. States that allow players to purchase lottery tickets online hope to boost lottery related revenue to help with rising budget deficits. It is only a matter of time before US lotteries catch up with their European counterparts.

Well I have thought about them too, I was really close to getting into the business. But let me tell you one thing gumball machines is passive income, soda and snack machines are not.

If you want a very part time, work one day out of the month, very good extra income type of business then bulk vending is for you.
