Employees of the Pennsylvania Lottery said Tuesday they can beat a profit projection offered by a British firm seeking to manage one of the nation's largest lotteries under a privatization plan being considered by Gov. Tom Corbett.
 
The employees' union made the comments as part of a counterproposal it delivered to Corbett's administration, which is exploring whether to hire Camelot Global Services on a 20-year contract.
 
In its proposal, Council 13 of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees said Camelot's profit projections are largely achieved through the expansion of gambling - not through the company's expertise - and existing staff can do the job better.
