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."
NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz's campaign said Wednesday it has raised nearly $20 million over the last three months, a large haul that further cements the Texas senator's status as a serious contender for the nomination heading into the Iowa caucuses.
Cruz's campaign said in a memo to supporters that he will finish the year having raised over $45 million. That means his haul over the final quarter will be significantly larger than the $12 million he raised during the previous three months of the year. He had raised more than $26 million through the end of September.
