I like the idea of informed consent for the lotto player, txwinr, informing the lotto player whether a jumbo player is making a jumbo play.

Publishing the percent cover (of all possible draws) in real time would inform the player if there is a jumbo play happening in a draw.

It may not be illegal to do what Rook did, but it's wrong and it's unfair to the rest of us playing - if they can buy up ALL the combinations by the same means the rest of us have available to us, that's one thing and that's fine, but it's another thing when the TLC actually abets them by TEMPORARILY adding machines and not making them abide by the same rules other retailers have to (sell scratch offs, be open to the public, etc).

Great job Kate.

I am hopeful that based on the investigative report the Texas Lottery will be more vigilant on the sales patterns for the current jackpot.

Americans love their pets. So I am sure they can even let a puppy win it this time

they need to stop tryna buy all the tkts but if it's allowed, can't do anything abt it

we know they can't do this on MM or PB
