    "factual_background": "The Complainant was established in 1992 and is the owner and operator of the lottery operated in the state of Georgia in the United States. This is branded as GEORGIA LOTTERY and the Complainant has registered many trade marks to protect this trading style, including the mark referenced above. The Complainant also owns and operates the domain names <galottery.com> (“ga” being the widely recognised abbreviation for the state of Georgia) and <georgialottery.com>, from which its services can be accessed. \r\n\r\nThe disputed domain name was registered on December 22, 2019. It resolves to a directory page which contains a number of per-per-click (“PPC”) links associated with the Complainant and its services, including “Georgia Winning Lottery Numbers”, “Winning Ticket Electronic Claim Submission Software” and “Lottery Ticket System”. These links apparently take the user to websites providing unrelated goods and services, such as retirement annuities. \r\n\r\nThe disputed domain name is virtually identical to the Complainant’s GEORGIA LOTTERY mark and is being used to refer to services which are identical to those in which the Complainant has rights. \r\n\r\nThe Respondent has no rights or legitimate interests in respect of the disputed domain name. There is no evidence of, or demonstrable preparations to use, the disputed domain name or a name corresponding to the disputed domain name in connection with a bona fide offering of goods and services. The Respondent has not been commonly known by the disputed domain name, nor is it making a legitimate non-commercial or fair use of the disputed domain name. The Respondent has used a privacy service to hide its identity and has not replied to the cease and desist letter sent on behalf of the Complainant.\r\n\r\nThe disputed domain name has been registered and is being used in bad faith. The Respondent had constructive knowledge of the Complainant’s rights and has sought to attract Internet users for commercial gain by creating a likelihood of confusion with the Complainant’s mark as to the source, sponsorship, affiliation or endorsement of the Respondent’s website. The Respondent is using the disputed domain name for services in the same classes as those for which the Complainant’s trade marks are registered. Thus, it can be assumed that the Respondent knew about the Complainant’s trade marks. \r\n\r\n",
