You know the answer: the state makes money off the lottery. They get zip from internet gambling.

Simple. The lotto ticket sends money to legislative goons nationwide, so they can then spend said money irresponsibly. Online gambling, however, sends money to businesses, who tend to manage money in a way Congress has never heard of.

The difference is it is the government selling you the lottery ticket. With far worse odds than a little wager on a football game, I might add.

As for that internet poker, all I can say is, anybody who plays poker on the internet is a damn fool.
