WASHINGTON — D.C. officials proposed a $215 million contract to manage online gambling and the lottery through a firm that will use companies with connections to some city officials. The Washington Post reports the city selected Greek gaming company Intralot to run sports betting without using the standard competitive bidding process. The subcontractors would earn more than half of the $215 million contract. Intralot already oversees the D.C. lottery and the deal would add sports betting. ___Information from: The Washington Post, http://www.washingtonpost.comCopyright 2019 The Associated Press.
