If anyone's wondering about the anomaly that has my attention...

Like many lotteries, Lotto Texas offers an Extra option where you pay an additional dollar for higher non-jackpot prizes.

For Monday, there were 397,727 tickets sold with Extra, and 839,799 without.

For Wednesday, there were 494,068 tickets sold with Extra, and 1,090,763 without.

For Saturday, there were 689,579 tickets sold with Extra, and 27,414,227 without.

Something highly unusual is going on here.

Google Instant Street View at 5200 COLLEYVILLE BLVD #500 shows a Massage Parlor as where Lottery Now is located. On the Texas Lottery website, Lotto Texas past results shows the retailer's address in the past winning numbers section.

Word on the streets is that is was purchased through Mido Lottery online but problem is they own a nonexistent Lotto Now store in Colleyville Tx

so what happened here??? Wonder will they investigate

an online store must have a physical store in the state and Mido state they own a store but nvr existed not unless they using another store as a front

I understood that quite well.

My point was someone cannot purchase lotto tickets from the convenience of a smart phone, tablet, home computer and not to depend on a courier service like you mentioned.

In KY originally when they offered on-line ticket sales (no courier) that they would not offer Pick 3 or 4 on-line. So slowly that changed even though KLC said they didn't put them in to help Mom and Pop stores. As many of you know I have a good rapport with the KLC...they ALWAYS... [ More ]

I guess you did not understand the article. Texas does offer online lottery ticket sales. It is called Lottery Now. It is an online ticket courier service. The tickets have to be bought at a brick and morter store by a courier than he/she scans the tickets online to the Lottery Now site. This is just like the online courier service snip

There was a massive anomaly in the sales numbers for this drawing - approximately 26 million tickets that didn't match the usual patterns. It's exactly the numbers I'd expect to see if someone managed to pull off the trick of guaranteeing a win by buying every single possible combination. I'm wondering if someone, or some group, used multiple courier services to do exactly that.

LOL. The closest I came to winning Lotto here in Texas is the gas station across the street from the gas station I bought work pool tickets produce a winning ticket several years ago.

Also, some years ago I bought 2 lines for Tx Lotto, and had all 6 winning numbers. Four on the first line, 2 on the 2nd line.

However, the issue with the win is that TX Lotto states it was won at a location of 5200 Colleyville Blvd Ste 500 and store never existed and still not there

no banners, nothing and Lotto Now is affiliated with Mido Lottery and it has hit the news that maybe fraud or scam involved

please research on Reddit, Twitter and Tx Lottery media

Something a lil fishy, also close friends live 10 mins away and verified no Lotto Now has ever been there so how u sell online in a nonexis... [ More ]

It's 2024-2025 I'm a little nervous about. That will be the Sunset Review where legislators look at the lottery and determine the lottery's future. The last time we came within an ace of losing the lottery here because a legislator from Southlake tried to put an end to the lottery. He came close to putting together a group that were ready to vote to abolish the lottery until they realized the amount of money that was at stake.

I can't recall all the details except it was a close call. We hav... [ More ]

Nice to see that they still Mechanical Balls for the drawings.

Not surprised they won't seem to ever offer on-line purchases and it doesn't seem some Texans are pro-lottery. Nothing surprises me from that state anymore.

Biggest Lotto Texas jackpot win in over 12 years, Texas Lottery notes third-party app sales trend

By Kate Northrop

The Texas Lottery announced just after midnight on Sunday that one ticket won the $95 million Lotto Texas jackpot, which stood as the largest lottery prize in the U.S.

Everything's bigger in Texas, including the lottery. After 93 drawings in one jackpot run, someone is finally walking away from Saturday's Lotto Texas drawing a multi-millionaire.
