Italy’s Council of State rejected a Lotto outlet holder’s appeal, leaving in place the refusal to suspend the concession revocation in Monte di Procida. The court cited repeated late payments of Lotto proceeds and the absence of a required insurance policy; the revocation was notified on 18 September 2025.
The ruling leaves the outlet without its Lotto concession while the underlying dispute proceeds.

The case can be refiled before the TAR Lazio, which the court identified as competent for this type of dispute.
