Caxias do Sul pauses municipal lottery studies pending Supreme Court ruling
Caxias do Sul's municipal government has paused studies for a proposed municipal lottery while Brazil's Supreme Federal Court considers whether municipalities may operate lotteries. The case was filed by Solidariedade in early 2025, and the municipality says it will decide whether to resume the studies or abandon the project after the court rules; no decision date is given.
The court's ruling will determine whether Caxias do Sul can proceed with its proposed lottery concession.
