Lottery exploring options for fantasy sports and other online games

STATE HOUSE — The Massachusetts Lottery formally began the process of gathering information on the online lottery industry on Tuesday as it looks to assert itself in the burgeoning world of online fantasy sports.
In a request for information, the Massachusetts Lottery Commission said it is inviting organizations to "submit proposals for the development, implementation, operational support, and maintenance of a Massachusetts Lottery iLottery System … and the development and integration of digital versions of existing and new lottery games ('iLottery Games'), including but not limited to social gaming and daily fantasy sports options."
