LOTTO in Suspense
posted (March 11, 2010)

There was no Lotto drawing last night and there hasn’t been one since February 20th. That is because as we’ve reported, the license for Tropical Gaming Company expired on February 24th and so far Tropical Gaming and government have been unable to agree on the terms of a new license.

The Ministry of Economic Development has however granted Tropical Gaming a temporary license which will expire at the end of April. But there is no word yet on Lotto will resume operations. The dispute over the new license is reportedly because government wants a bigger take. If no license is agreed on – government will open the lotto contract to tender.

The last Lotto drawing was on February 20th which is when Paula Vasquez won the $90,000 jackpot.
