RE: YOIKS ! NEW COMPETITION !!There is lots of competition out there already. I can't see an alliance with what is essentially a government organization (Lotto Quebec)as being particularly effective, except perhaps in former communist countries where nobody trusts the private sector. It's also possible that this new alliance could in some cases provide an entry point for special expertise of AGC; who knows. In any case, the "French connection" will mean very little or nothing in Vietnam.
