A Commonwealth Court in Pennsylvania has ruled in favor of Pace-O-Matic, a Georgia gaming company, in an ongoing battle with the Pennsylvania Lottery. Pace-O-Matic provides machines to businesses in the state that allow people to win money for playing “skill” games. The Pennsylvania Lottery argued that these games take revenue away from the state. However, the Commonwealth Court stated that skill games are legal because they require a degree of skill to win. The decision also asserted that the State Liquor Control Board has no right to regulate or seize these machines. The state intends to appeal the decision to the Pennsylvania Supreme Court.
New Jersey Lottery officials have proposed amendments to rules regarding anonymity for lottery winners in the state.

The proposed changes also mention that winners of “second chance drawing” and other giveaways without a participation cost are not subject to anonymity provisions.
