Analome asks Brazil’s Supreme Court to lift municipal lottery suspension
Analome asked Brazil’s Supreme Federal Court on 4 December to revoke the interim order suspending municipal lottery operations in a case before it. The association argues that municipalities have constitutional authority to run lotteries and proposes, alternatively, limiting the suspension to fixed-odds betting; the request awaits review by Justice Nunes Marques and later consideration by the full court.
The court’s decision will determine whether municipalities can resume lottery operations or face a narrower suspension.
