TCE-PR says Paraná municipalities cannot operate lotteries
Paraná’s TCE-PR issued an opinion finding that municipalities in the state cannot operate lotteries, following a legal and operational consultation by Lottopar. The tribunal said federal law expressly authorises states and the Federal District to operate lotteries; it noted that the Supreme Federal Court has not yet issued a final decision on the issue.
The opinion challenges municipal lottery operations in Paraná while the Supreme Federal Court case remains unresolved.
