MANION, Circuit Judge.
Plaintiffs, seven former employees of the State Lottery Commission of Indiana, which does business under the name Hoo sier Lottery (hereinafter “Lottery”), sued their former employer under 42 U.S.C. § 1981 and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. They claimed that they were fired because of their race.

The district court denied the Lottery’s motion, and we affirm.
