I see no mention of it financing buildings or infrastructure, so I don't believe this would be an appropriate avenue for the Calgary Flames to pursue to finance their new arena.
But what if the Flames created a different lottery to help finance the arena.
Would it be legal for them to create their own scratch tickets and sell them? |
The lottery concept is pretty much a form of government subsidy because it wouldn't create much new lottery demand, just shift it from other lotteries run by the government.
