Company running most lottery games worldwide has history of scandalReply
That report, however, was the last full-year disclosure that must be made to American regulators in August, GTECH was bought by an Italian company, Lottomatica S.p.A., for $4.7 billion.

Texas Lottery makes contingency plans for takeoverNews Story
The Texas Lottery Commission began laying the groundwork Wednesday to take over the $95 million-a-year operation historically carried out by a private corporation in the event that the state is no longer satisfied with its work.

Texas Lottery confirms that Quick Picks are not generated by "central computer"Reply
The other one you're trying to think of is GTECH, which I think is what Texas uses. GTECH is the largest lottery equipment and services company in the world, and has the largest US market share.
