CLEVELAND -- Rhode Island-based lottery giant GTECH Corp. is challenging the accuracy and fairness of the Ohio lottery's decision to award that business to another company.

GTECH today sent a letter of protest to Ohio Lottery Executive Director Michael Dolan asking for reconsideration of the Ohio Lottery Commission's decision to award the contract to Intralot Inc. The contract could last up to 10 years and has an estimated worth of $170 million.

GTECH says there were fundamental errors in the way the bidding was done that hurt GTECH's ability to keep the contract. The Ohio Lottery says the decision is proper.

G-Tech needs kicked out of Ohio. They are lieing trash from the top down. I use to work for them however after working for over 100 hours per week driving all over the state They fired me saying I falsified documents? Those docs they say... I used my phone calling to dealers to walk them threw the process of repairing their machines, Which was told to myself that I was alloud to by my superiors. Especially since I was being sent 4 hours from my area to install machines in others area. And did not have time to be in 2 places at the same time. But I got released becouse of paper work? Not the truth... The fact is G-Tech hired one of my friends and did not need both of us to cover the same area, However they came up with an excuse to get rid of me so they would not have to pay Unemployment.



i wonder why GTECH Corp will do that?, thanks for sharing!
