Pre-Paid Promotions, Inc. Demands Mobile County District Attorney Retract Illegal Lottery Allegations & Threats of Prosecution
(MONTGOMERY, ALABAMA) - Pre-Paid Promotions, Inc. ("PPP"), an established Alabama distributor of pre-paid phone cards, has asked the Mobile County District Attorney to withdraw all threats of prosecution against retail vendors of its pre-paid phone cards and to retract all allegations that the sale of PPP phone cards violates state anti-lottery and gambling laws.
Mobile, AL (PRWEB) October 12, 2009 -- Pre-Paid Promotions, Inc. ("PPP"), an established Alabama distributor of pre-paid phone cards, has asked the Mobile County District Attorney to withdraw all threats of prosecution against retail vendors of its pre-paid phone cards and to retract all allegations that the sale of PPP phone cards violates state anti-lottery and gambling laws. In support of its request, PPP cited previous court decisions and opinions issued by the Office of the Attorney General of Alabama. Those opinions and decisions have consistently found that the promotion and sale of pre-paid phone cards, which include a promotions sweepstakes in the form of a scratch-off sweepstakes and which allow for the free distribution of game piece, do not constitute a prohibited lottery under Alabama law. The Opinion 99-00028 affirms the legality of such phone cards and finds that the free game piece does not constitute either an unconstitutional lottery under Section 65 of the Constitution of Alabama, 1901, or a violation of Alabama's statutory prohibitions relating to gambling offenses set forth in Ala. Code § 13A-12-20 (1994).
