By the way they have legalized medical marijuana and are on their way to taxing and legalizing recreational use too. They have just as many fire and brimstone pentacostal and Baptist in North La.

I read the amendment as saying that you can either stand in line to buy your lottery ticket from a person at a register or you can buy it at a kiosk/ATM type device at that same authorized location. Seems like the amendment just gives you an easier, quicker way to buy your ticket. (As a comparison, when I go to a movie theater, I usually buy my ticket at a kiosk rather than waiting in a long line of people to buy it from the employee behind the register.) But maybe I'm missing some underlying ulterior motive.
