Question

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 John 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 John had difficulty collecting his share of the proceeds. In John'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?
