Re: Interlott Technologies, Inc. Employee Stock Purchase Plan
Dear Sir or Madam:
We have acted as counsel for Interlott Technologies, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the "Company"), in connection with its Employee Stock Purchase Plan
(the "Plan"). We have examined such documents, records and matters of law as we
have deemed necessary for purposes of this opinion and, based thereupon, we are
of the opinion that the shares of common stock, $.01 par value, of the Company
which may be issued and sold pursuant to the Plan will be, when issued in
accordance with the terms of the Plan, duly authorized, validly issued, fully
paid and nonassessable.
We consent to the filing of this opinion as an Exhibit to the
Registration Statement on Form S-8 to be filed by the Company with the
Securities and Exchange Commission to effect registration under the Securities
Act of 1933 of 25,000 shares to be issued and sold pursuant to the Plan.
/s/ Taft, Stettinius & Hollister LLP
