[syndicaster id=’6080788′]

ATTALA COUNTY, Miss. (WCBI) -An Attala County woman is suing the fantasy sports website Draft Kings claiming it is operating illegally in the state.

Alison Tharpe says her husband Wayne Tharpe has lost money playing the fantasy football game.

Tharpe says she is due that money back because Draft Kings is a game of chance and not a game of skill, making it an illegal online gaming website in the state.

The suit is also seeking class action status, meaning, anyone who can prove they lost money playing Draft Kings can join in.

Tharpe wants more than five million dollars to be set aside to pay people who join the suit, if it is successful
