Should the Fayetteville Convention and Visitors Bureau sell lottery tickets? | OU Poll

The Fayetteville Advertising and Promotion Committee is considering selling lottery tickets at the Fayetteville Convention and Visitors Bureau.

Fayetteville city attorney Kit Williams said that might violate the law for the center to get involved in sales that compete with retail outlets. However, Williams said he speaks only for the city and does not represent the committee.

The committee is seeking the opinion of an attorney or perhaps the Arkansas Attorney General for direction on the matter.
