No law prohibits citizens in a state that does not sponsor


No law prohibits citizens in a state that does not sponsor a state-operated lottery from purchasing lottery tickets in a state that does have such a lottery. Georgia did not have a state-operated lottery, so Tom and several other Georgia residents allegedly agreed to purchase a ticket in a lottery sponsored by Kentucky and to share the proceeds if they won. They did win, but apparently Tom had difficulty collecting his share of the proceeds from his co-winners. In Tom's suit to obtain his portion of the funds, a Georgia trial court held that the "gambling contract" was unenforceable be­cause it was contrary to Georgia's public policy. On appeal, how should the court rule on this issue?
