A hearing will be held on GTECH’s Amended Plea to the Jurisdiction in the Fun 5’s scratch-off ticket lawsuit pending in Travis County, Texas. The Notice of Hearing on GTECH’s Amended Plea to the Jurisdiction set the date for the hearing as February 18, 2016 at 2:00 p.m. Travis County has a rotating docket which means the parties do not know at this time which judge will hear the Plea on February 18th. In its Amended Plea to the Jurisdiction, GTECH is asking the court to dismiss the claims of over 1,000 plaintiffs and intervenors who allege that GTECH committed fraud when it selected wording for its Fun 5’s tickets that misled players into believing they would win a prize if they revealed a Money Bag symbol on their scratch-off tickets.
