Hoping to squeeze more money out of the state lottery, Illinois Senate President John Cullerton wants to sell tickets online and hire a private company to manage and market the games.  The Associated Press reports, Cullerton thinks new technology and fresh ideas could help Illinois -- facing what could be a $9 billion hole in next year's budget -- dramatically boost lottery revenues.  No U.S. lottery sells individual tickets online. A handful of states let people go online to buy long-term subscriptions, where customers sign up in advance to play the same numbers week after week. (Associated Press)  (For more, click here)
