The provincial government is considering allowing lottery ticket sales in BC liquor stores.
But Minister Responsible Rich Coleman says a decision is a long way off.
"well what it is, it's under discussion, it's being looked at, it would take some technical upgrades for software, there would have to be an RFP, so the decision would come through going into the spring, and if it was gonna happen it wouldn't happen before next summer."
Coleman says the BC Lotteries Corporation is studying the issue as it looks for new revenue streams.
