HARRISBURG, Pa., Feb. 14, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Governor Tom Corbett today issued the following statement on the Attorney General's review of the Lottery Private Management Agreement:

"I'm deeply disappointed. I don't agree with the attorney general's analysis and decision, and we will review our legal options.

My job is to protect Pennsylvania's seniors, and we will continue to do that.

We have a growing population where one in four Pennsylvanians will be over the age of 65 by 2017. My goal is to ensure that funding for senior programs keeps pace with that growth."
