Will Millennials buy lottery tickets if they’re digital? A new Powerball app hopes so. Startup AutoLotto lets users purchase tickets online or scan physical tickets into the app, and then sends them notifications if they win. Gambling is counting on Millennials to make a comeback: Just one third of 20-35-year-olds played the lottery last year, and that number is trending down with time. The app’s success so far is promising, with $17 million in funding and plans to expand throughout the U.S. and beyond just Powerball. (CNBC)
