If they don't raise the price, then it can't be that bad.

Maybe they will add a raffle or something.

As long as the Camelot will keep their contract of $34 billion profit for 20 years, I think there is no problem with that. Hopefully under this management they will provide a good profit and give huge amount of revenue to the government.

I hope history repeats itself.

Politically correct, of course... Too bad we couldn't bayonet the snip s.

Corbett needs a few jabs himself.

Sorry helpmewin, I don't think it's a good idea because what it means to me is more control going outside of

the country. Corbett's time should be up...what could he possibly come up with given more time? It is what it is...

a backstabbing, moneymaking, underhanded, sell-off. It's dirty and should be worthy of execution. I'm tired of

things getting out of OUR control. Pretty soon, they chip away state by state, there won't be any country left.

Last time the Brits were down here and told us to submit to the Crown or they would hang our leaders and lay waste to our countryside by fire, the Over the Mountain Boys went over the mountain and killed 'em all in the Battle of Kings Mountain, 1780.

Kicked Colonel Ferguson and his 1200 redcoats asses, killed 'em all. That's what turned the tide in the war.

Lord Cornwallis surrendered shortly thereafter at Yorktown.

Rubbish.

Let them keep their hands to themselves. This cookie jar isn't big enough for the Brits. Talk about borders, I wish

they'd find some and stay in them.

Your ticket prices are going to get raised. They've done this with the UK Lotto 6/49 under the pretence that this is what players wanted but nobody remembers being asked the question.

Guys, camelot are terrible at running lotteries, these guys are looking to double the price of the UK lottery and people are going to Boycott it - American and UK lottery are all so different and I just hope they don't rub off each other change each others games.

I don't see what the problem is unless they're afraid the Englishmen will introduce their nasty habits into Pennsylvania.

Deal to let British firm run Pa. lottery still alive

Lottery Post — Wed, 31 Jul 2013 23:11:10 GMT

The Corbett administration's deal with a British firm to run the Pennsylvania Lottery will remain alive at least for another month.

Administration officials said Tuesday that Camelot Global Services had agreed to extend through Aug. 30 its bid to manage the lottery. Corbett's office has sought a series of extensions since state Attorney General Kathleen Kane ruled in February that the lottery deal violated the state constitution.

Among other things, Kane said, lawyers on her staff had dete... [ More ]
