If sports gambling were legalized throughout the state –  the Virginia Lottery could end up being a major player. Kevin Hall, executive director of the Virginia Lottery said, “Let me just pitch on the 30-year history and the brand, the existing retail network and the proficencies we have in marketing. And the fact that we do support policies of social purpose.” 

Tabcorp chief executive David Attenborough issued a strong rebuke to Lottoland. “The Victorian lottery delivers over $400 million for the funding of hospitals, and over $100 million to venues, the newsagents and convenience stores that sell lottery tickets, and that’s what the lottery is about,” he said.
