Staatsloterij must refund lottery tickets Financial

It concerns lottery tickets that the man had bought between 2000 and 2008. The Supreme Court decided five years ago that during this period the State Lottery made misleading statements about the odds of winning. As a result, the man started a case against the State Lottery to get back the purchase price of his lottery tickets from that period. Earlier, the court in Limburg did not agree with him, on which he appealed.

Likely

The man argued before the court that if the State Lottery had given him the correct information, he would not have bought lottery tickets. The court considers this plausible. The State Lottery has three months to file a cassation against this decision.

The State Lottery does not yet know whether it will go to the Supreme Court. A spokesman for the Dutch Lottery, which includes the State Lottery, says: “We find the statement incomprehensible. We will therefore first study the statement carefully. ”
