ROANOKE, Va. (AP) - An attorney for a university professor suing the Virginia Lottery is weighing his next step after a ruling this week that eliminates other ticket purchasers.
Roanoke attorney John Fishwick said Thursday that his client, Washington & Lee University professor Scott Hoover, still plans to move forward with the case.
A Richmond Circuit Court judge this week denied the Virginia Lottery’s motion to dismiss the case. But the judge ruled that Hoover could not make a claim on behalf of all other similarly situated ticket purchasers.
Hoover had asked for reimbursement for purchasers of an estimated 26.5 million tickets over the past five years that he contends had no chance of winning the top prize promised on them.
