Florida Lottery won't pay $500,000 winner, called 'misprint'Reply
Just my opinion here, but if I were to draw up a legal contract and it had a misprint on it, I would still be liable for that contract. I don't see any difference here. They should pay for their misprint mistakes and work harder to make sure there aren't anymore. That is, if in fact, it was their fault.

Lottery win is early wedding giftReply
When a couple get married in a public setting regardless of their trust of each other, they are completing a legal contract witnessed by friends and family. What's different about prenuptial agreement? Couples who don't want a binding contract, agreement or understanding don't get married, they shack-up or maintain a friendship with benefits and no obligations.

$8 million lottery dispute grips SpainReply
From watching TV court shows, I understand that in order for a contract to be enforceable it must be beneficial for all competence parties concerned, there's no such thing as a contract without benefits or considerations. If you're not offering any benefits or considerations then it's like a gift or charitable donation which is unenforceable. (Considerations could be no more than just picking some lucky numbers for him to play)

N.C. lottey commission to announce vendor choiceReply
I don't really care who wins the on-line contract. But I want SciGames to win the instant contract. Oberthur tickets are very hard to scratch off. In fact they aren't even scratch-off tickets, but rather scrape-and-peel-off tickets. You Virginia and Maryland players should know what I'm talking about.

Delware Lottery renews contract with Scientific GamesReply
I don't think you understood the article. They renewed their scratch-off manufacturing contract. Their draw games were not affected by this contract renewal. If the article did involve a computerized drawing, Todd would have included a footnote.

Colorado Lottery cuts $1 million from budgetNews Story
When Margaret Peggy Gordon took over the troubled Colorado Lottery early this year, she examined every contract and questioned every expense.That effort allowed the agency to cut nearly $1 million from its $22.8 million 2005-06 budget request in an era when many agencies are looking for additional funding from the already tight state budget.
