Protected with a contract. Think about it. When you buy a lottery ticket at a retailer, you have just entered into a legal contract with a stranger.

Employee strike at Québec Lottery halts introduction of new Lotto 6/49 in the provinceReply
It was a 3 year contract and the $1 was added to whatever wage increase was agreed upon in lieu of taking the profit sharing. Don't recall if they took the profit sharing when that contract expired. They still got a minimum of $6000 regardless of a profit or not.

This had to have been in the works for quite awhile in order to just drop the press release and schedule to go live 1 week later. This just shows how little the MD Lottery cares about the players. I know some palms got greased in all this. Good question jarasan 1. Who picked Smart Play International to get the contract? 2. Was there even a bidding process for the contract? 3. Why weren't there a public hearing so players could at the very least voice their concerns? 4. Did the Ma

Funny thing is Tony Romo got big tv contract for 10 years for 180 million. He was good during his initial 3 years. He got paid and he stopped preparing for broadcasts and tries to bs his way through each game.
