Limited Edition World Series ticket Raised Nearly $21 Million For
Cities and Towns
BOSTON, Massachusetts (September 3,
2009) - The Boston Red Sox Limited Edition World Series instant ticket has
culminated its record-setting run with the awarding of the final $1 million
grand prize in the historic game from the Massachusetts State Lottery.
Treasurer Tim Cahill and Red Sox
President/CEO Larry Lucchino announced the joint venture in March 2008 to
commemorate the Red Sox second championship in three years and raise
much-needed revenue for Massachusetts communities.
The Limited Edition World Series
game sold more than $177 million in tickets, awarded $142 million in prizes and
raised $20.8 million for taxpayers. Overall, the Lottery’s four Boston Red
Sox games have sold more than $682 million in tickets and raised more than $91
million for local aid since 2006.
“When we joined forces with
the Red Sox, no one imagined how successful we would be,” said
Treasurer Cahill, chairman of the Massachusetts State Lottery Commission.
“Together we have raised record amounts of revenue for our communities
and awarded more than a half a billion dollars in prizes to our
fans.”
The Boston Red Sox Limited Edition
World Series ticket, a $20 game, featured 20 instant grand prizes of $1 million
and two grand prizes of $10 million, the largest instant prize ever awarded by
an American lottery. The game – the third Red Sox Lottery ticket –
also featured Red Sox road trips, unique memorabilia and a second World Series
Trophy tour across the state.
The Lottery and the Boston Red Sox
created the nation’s first sports-themed instant ticket in 2006 and
released their fourth game earlier this year. A parade of sports-themed games
across the country has since followed in those footsteps.
“The Red Sox organization is
proud of our longstanding relationship with the Massachusetts State Lottery and
the resulting benefits this collaboration has brought to the 351 towns and
cities throughout the Commonwealth,” said President/CEO Larry
Lucchino. “We congratulate the most recent $1million winner, and all
those fans who received prizes through the Limited Edition World Series instant
ticket.”
The winner of the 20th and final
$1million grand prize is a visually-impaired Red Sox fan from Eastern
Massachusetts. A lifelong fan, he requested that his name be withheld. He said
he has hired a financial planner and he will use the prize to secure his
financial future.
“Yaz (Carl Yastrzemski) was
my favorite player, but I was a little young to remember the ’67
Impossible Dream Team. I do remember Carlton Fisk in ’75, waving it
fair,” the winner recalled. “This entire experience has been
incredible. I’m still planning what to do with the money and I’m
taking it real slow.”
He bought the lucky ticket at
Congress Card and Tobacco in Boston. The store will receive a $10,000
commission on the prize.

Highest EU Court: State Monopoly For Internet Gambling Compliant With
EU Law
- EU Member States can
ban foreign online gambling operators such as Bwin, even if they are based and
licensed in another EU Member State
- Clear and undisputable
ruling by the highest EU Court
- Great victory for
national governments and state lotteries
- Ruling puts end to
online gambling hubs such as Gibraltar, Malta and the Channel
Islands
LUXEMBOURG / BRUSSELS (September 8,
2009) – Today the European Court of Justice has issued its much awaited
ruling on the case (C-42/07) opposing the Portuguese Professional Football
League ‘Liga Portuguesa’ and commercial online operator bwin against
the Portuguese national lottery, Departamento de Jogos da Santa Casa da
Misericórdia de Lisboa, a member of European Lotteries (EL).
For the first time, the Court
explicitly confirmed that national governments can grant such a state monopoly
not only for traditional land-based gambling and but also for gambling via the
Internet and other electronic means of communication.
EL-President Friedrich Stickler
welcomed the judgment: “Today’s ruling by the highest European Court
explicitly states that governments can prohibit commercial online gambling
operators such as bwin from offering games of chance via the internet to their
citizens, even when these operators are based and licensed in another EU Member
State.”

About European Lotteries
European Lotteries (EL) is the
European umbrella organisation of national lotteries operating games of chance
for the public benefit. EL has members from over 40 European countries
including all 27 EU Member States. The association's EU members contribute more
than 20 billion EUR p.a. to the state budgets and the funding of sport,
culture, social projects, research and other causes of general interest. Unlike
many commercial online gambling operators, EL members only offer gambling and
betting services in the jurisdictions in which they are licensed by the
respective national government.
KEY POINTS/SECTIONS OF THE
RULING:
| Advertisement |
 |
- Court confirms previous case law:
Member States are free to set their own policy objectives on betting and
gambling and define in detail the level of protection they deem appropriate for
their citizens (§59 of the judgment).
- Limited authorization of games on
an exclusive basis has the advantage of confining operation of gambling within
controlled channels and prevention of fraud (§ 64).
- Court even extends previous case
law on the validity of a monopoly to internet monopolies (§ 67): grant of
exclusive rights to operate games via the internet to a single operator, which
is subject to strict control by the public authorities may confine operation of
gambling within controlled channels.
- For the first time, the
application of the principle of mutual recognition in the gambling sector is
explicitly denied (§ 69): in the absence of harmonization, an operator
such as Bwin which lawfully offers its services via Internet in another MS, in
which it is established and where it was already subject to statutory
conditions and controls of the competent authorities in that state, cannot be
regarded as amounting to a sufficient assurance that national consumers will be
protected against the risks of fraud and crime. The Court goes very far by
saying that the authorities of the Member State of establishment cannot assess
sufficiently the professional qualities and integrity of operators.
- Internet games involve different
and more substantial risks of fraud compared with land based games (§
70).
