A Nevada lottery bill made progress this week in Carson City but the chances of lottery players being able to purchase Mega Millions and Powerball tickets inside the Silver State anytime soon remain slim.

Lottery players wait in line to purchase their tickets at The Lotto Store at Primm just across the Nevada border in California. A Nevada lottery bill is making some traction in Carson City, but the odds remain long that legal lottery sales will come to the state.
Nevada and Las Vegas are synonymous with gaming, as the Strip and the state’s casinos include some of the world’s most recognizable resort destinations. But perhaps surprising to some is that Nevada is one of only five states that doesn’t have a lottery.
Assistant Majority Assembly Floor Leader Cameron “CH” Miller (D-North Las Vegas) and many of his Assembly colleagues want to end Nevada’s prohibition on lottery gaming. In February, Miller introduced a joint resolution to the Nevada Legislature that begins the long legislative road required for a constitutional amendment.
Miller’s Assembly Joint Resolution 5 proposes to amend the Nevada Constitution to allow the state to create a lottery and sell games of chance tickets.
