The court held that such powers only reside with the state Houses of Assembly, which possess exclusive jurisdiction over lottery and games of chance. Justice Idris ordered that the National Lottery Act 2005 should no longer be enforced in all states, except the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), in respect of which the National Assembly is empowered to make laws.
