IGT prevails in DOJ lawsuit; Wire Act only applies to sports bettingReply
Great job by the IGT keeping the lawsuit alive until the judge was able to rule. Just because someone says you are in no danger of being prosecuted does not mean they cannot change their mind. Having a court order to back yo u up lets everyone sleep better.

Why do people buy lottery tickets that could be worth millions and then hand it to someone they don't know and ask them how much they won? I had the bank print off the statement, and she found the ticket through that and that is when I learned it was a 6.5 million ticket. My Online KY Lottery account h
