twitterLottery launch date set
Wednesday, Dec. 10, 2003 | 9:29 a.m.
BISMARCK, N.D. -- North Dakota will begin its lottery by selling Powerball tickets March 25, officials at the new state lottery said Tuesday.
The date, a Thursday, was suggested by Scientific Games International, the company that has been hired to supply computer terminals and other equipment for retailers to use in selling tickets.
North Dakota's lottery will begin business by selling tickets to Powerball, a game that is played in 24 states, including Montana, South Dakota and Minnesota.
Later next year, the lottery will begin offering tickets to two smaller multistate games, called Hot Lotto and Wild Card 2.
More than 500 businesses have applied to sell tickets, and the lottery office and Scientific Games will be ranking the locations to decide which ones will be granted licenses, officials said. Some have already been disqualified because of poor finances or problems with a criminal background check.
