(FORTUNE Magazine) – The chief of the Connecticut State Lottery was dismissed Friday after he refused to recommend a change in the state's Lotto game that will reduce the bettor's chances of winning. The chief ((was)) J. Blaine Lewis Jr. . . . ''I have been fired for refusing to carry out what I considered to be an improper and illegal order,'' Mr. Lewis said . . . Mr. Lewis was told to recommend changing the present ''6 of 40'' Lotto game, in which customers must choose 6 of 40 numbers to win, to a game in which they must choose 6 of 44 numbers. -- From a news report in the New York Times.
