In Friday's episode of iGaming Daily, supported by Optimove, we dive into the controversy surrounding São Paulo's recent lottery bid and the now-infamous Aposta Vencedora consortium. After winning the bid to operate the state lottery, the group failed to meet crucial payment deadlines, throwing the entire process into disarray.

SBC Noticias' Fernando Noodt is joined by SBC Noticias Brasil's Ana Maria Menezes to examine what went wrong, from administrative oversights to deeper structural flaws in how the consortium was formed and approved.

The conversation also sheds light on the human cost of the debacle. Dozens of employees were allegedly hired under misleading circumstances, unaware of the unstable foundation on which the operation stood.

What does this mean for the future of lottery operations in São Paulo? And how can similar disasters be avoided in the future? Tune in for a compelling breakdown of a cautionary tale in governance, contracts, and consequences.
