A technical mishap took D.C.’s sole official sports-betting app offline for many users during the Super Bowl, costing the city money and sparking widespread criticism.

Past estimates said D.C. could take in $20 million a year from its GambetDC sports-betting app. New estimates revealed this week cut the estimate to $1.5 million.

D.C. Lottery says it’s “prepared to launch the platform when it is safe for the sports world to return.”

The D.C. Council voted overwhelmingly to rebuke one of its own today when it reprimanded Jim Graham (D-Ward 1) over an investigation into his role in the awarding of a 2009 D.C. Lottery contract.

A D.C. Superior Court judge dismissed Councilmember Jim Graham’s (D-Ward 1) request for an injunction and restraining order against the Board of Ethics and Government Accountability.

Councilmember Jim Graham (D-Ward 1) “adversely harmed the public confidence” in the D.C. Council with his reported roles in the awarding of D.C. Lottery and Metro contracts, Chairman Phil Mendelson told reporters today.

The D.C. Council chairman says that the Council next week will vote on whether to formally reprimand Jim Graham (D-Ward 1) for his role in a 2008 deal to find a new contractor for the D.C. Lottery.

Although he was chewed out by a stinging report by a D.C. government ethics board, Councilmember Jim Graham (D-Ward 1) says he has no intention of resigning.

The District’s Board of Ethics and Government Accountability ruled that while Councilmember Jim Graham (D-Ward 1) broke the D.C. code of conduct, it lacks the authority to proceed further.

Well, here’s a lottery result sure to turn some heads. Last night’s drawing for the D.C.-5 game was all sixes. Freaky.
