Judge temporarily halts Texas Lottery ban on courier, hints courier "will likely prevail"Reply
The lottery relies on the steady loyalty of its everyday players, discourages addictive wasteful spending - aka problem gambling and while it makes money for the state, it is not designed to make this money from the increases of sales by courier services. The everyday player plays to win on an equal playing field. His or her chances are diminished and degraded by the plots of the courier services. Players don't play to make money for the state, though it indirectly happens. They play to win

Courier services is a lottery beneath a lottery with a sinister agenda different from the lottery that it is paralyzing - the TLC.

$83.5 million Lotto Texas winner sues Texas Lottery for unpaid jackpotReply
I did not make an argument that lesser winners were not paid or claimed that Courier services were illegal.

That is not the intention of the state law-makers who legislated the lottery into existence and reserve the power to take it out of existence, if it is deemed to no

Some lotteries have terrible odds for the amount of tickets sold. Texas Lotto is one of them. Your chances of winning are one out 25,827,125. So, let's assume the jackpot grows to $95,000,000 as example. The ticket is $1.00 so as a corporation with $billions, you use courier services and buy every combination. Guess what? You spent $25,827,15 plus the courier fee but you won $95,000,000. That is how much the smart guy in France won by the way a few years ago in the Texas Lottery. The Texas Lotto
