Rio Grande do Sul governor submits state lottery regulation bill
Rio Grande do Sul Governor Eduardo Leite announced on 30 March that he would submit a bill to the state legislature regulating state lotteries. It covers prognostic, instant and traditional lotteries, but excludes fixed-odds sports betting; the state expects to publish the final concession notice in April, with a contract potentially signed next year after an auction.
The bill could establish a framework for private concessions to sell state lottery products through physical and digital channels.
