Texas bill would prohibit sales to players attempting to buy all possible number combinationsReply
calls into question how a retailer would define substantially all ticket combinations. Do these clowns know anything about how the lottery works? I'm pretty sure none of the syndicates tried by sending dozens or hundreds of people to retailers with an (already obvious) shopping bag full of official bet slips.

Texas Lottery says NJ group tried to buy another Lotto Texas jackpotReply
