New Arizona Lottery games are online and on your phone

The Arizona Lottery has launched a series of new games, but instead of picking numbers or scratching off a card, these games are meant to be played online or on your phone.

This comes as the Arizona Gaming Department reported bettors wagered more than $5 billion last year on sports.

The Show spoke with Dr. Timothy Fong, professor of psychiatry and co-director of the UCLA Gambling Studies Program, about the potential impact of these new lottery games.
