Imagine a new lottery run by EU firms in the US< how much that could net, because I think they could bring a WTO case on that.

FYI the UK has just granted the concession for the next ten years (starting in 2) to the incumbent firm Camelot. Part of their bid was a global lottery. There i already a European wide one. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I was really really hoping the EU would ask a sky high amount. $100bn sounded nice. Its not liek this wont go to arbitration, and you should always start hihg. I can only hope India, Aus, Canada, Macau, and Japan don't puss out and barely ask for anything. I hope CARICOM demands sugar and textiles concessions. They already have contentious garment
allowances. The sugar would hit Hawaii and Louisiana. The textiles VA, NC, and SC. Those are anti-gaming states all. Its high time to take some shots across the bow at some of their strongholds.
