Appeals court hands loss to New Jersey sports betting effortNews Story
A federal appeals court on Tuesday dealt another defeat to New Jersey's years long attempt to legalize sports betting, setting aside the state's legal challenge to a federal betting ban.

The court found New Jersey's law violated the 1992 Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act, which limits sports betting to the handful of states

Missouri will allow lottery winners to remain anonymousReply

Ontario Lottery awards man half of $6.1M lottery prize with remainder in legal limboReply

If it was his ticket, why did he lie about it??? And none of those cases had a written agreement. I dou
