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

Judge temporarily halts Texas Lottery ban on courier, hints courier "will likely prevail"Reply
Courier services is a lottery beneath a lottery with a sinister agenda different from the lottery that it is paralyzing - the TLC. The TLC should consider shutting down all games that can be defeated with the plots of the courier services - big money or rewrite the rules that makes courier services' chase of jackpots no longer attractive. There is no fairness in the state collecting the people's money and enriching calculating businesses like courier services. I see no irreparable harm t

$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. To the best of my knowledge, there is no intent on the part of the Texas legislature and the TLC to design lotteries that can be won by the brute force and power of deep-pocket money sunk in, to buy up all the combinations. 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

Lotto Texas $83.5 million jackpot winner says she was denied payoutReply
Makes me wonder if the courier lost the actual physical ticket or tried to claim on it. And why would she need to be in Texas to purchase through a courier??? Is the courier only licensed in certain states? I know it is a Texas game.

Texas Lottery Commission votes to ban lottery couriersReply
Both the lottery and the courier businesses have contributed to errant conducts and behaviors that could be deemed to infringe on the antitrust laws. The conducts, practices and business model of the courier services prevents fairness for the majority of the players and other retailers with just 1 or 2 terminals. The in-advertent accommodation of the courier services business models by the lottery prevents fairness for the brick mortar lottery retailers. The 2020 COVID lock down, gav
