AI Summary
This bill amends Mississippi law to allow holders of a "package retailer's permit," which is a license to sell sealed, unopened alcoholic beverages for off-premises consumption, to also become lottery retailers and sell lottery tickets under the Alyce G. Clarke Mississippi Lottery Law. Essentially, businesses that currently sell alcohol in original sealed containers can now apply to sell lottery tickets, expanding the network of locations where lottery tickets are available.
