Lottery group seeks to dismiss lawsuit over rigged jackpot

A group of state lotteries has asked a judge to dismiss a lawsuit filed by a jackpot winner who argues he was shortchanged by millions of dollars because the prior drawing was rigged by one of its employees. In court documents filed this week, the Multi-State Lottery Association argued that Iowa resident Larry Dawson does not have legal standing to sue because his “claimed injury is merely speculative and hypothetical, and therefore cannot be redressed.”
