The Law Explained

Despite being the unquestioned gambling capital of the world, Nevada's state constitution strictly prohibits a state lottery. Casino lobbyists have historically fought tooth and nail to keep lotteries out, preferring that gamblers spend their money at the tables and slots instead. If you want a scratch-off ticket, you have to cross the border into California.
