Many states prohibit their lottery tickets from being sold out of the state, so Pic-A-State would have its agents buy lottery tickets in various states and hold them there; someone in Pennsylvania would buy a claim on the tickets held in the other states. Congress passed a law prohibiting interstate transmission of lottery ticket information to be used for lottery ticket sales. Pic-A-State, which was being put out of business, challenged the law as unconstitutional.
Was it correct? [Pic-A-State Pa. v. Reno, 76 F.3d 1294 3rd Cir. (1996)]
