Merchant Comments on Lottery Sales

As a reader of the San Gabriel Valley section, I found the article on the mall owners who tried to limit lottery ticket sales very informative. As a vendor in the adjacent shopping center, I also received a letter and was asked not to sell lottery tickets. Although the owners of my store do not have legal power in prohibiting me from selling lottery tickets, your article still served in bringing attention to one of the great issues small merchants are facing in the selling of lottery tickets.
