The Virginia Supreme Court says the state lottery must ensure that its games are accessible to people with disabilities.
But the justices said Thursday that there's no law specifying how to do that. They sent the case back to Richmond Circuit Court for a hearing on that issue.
Four handicapped Virginians claimed in their lawsuit that only a fraction of lottery outlets are accessible to people who use wheelchairs or have other physical challenges. The Virginia Lottery argued that it was not their legal responsibility to make sure that retailers are accessible to the handicapped.
A Richmond judge had ruled in favor of the lottery.
