The investigation into two controversial lottery jackpots in Texas had drummed up questions about the role of online ticketing firms known as lottery couriers in the state – and nationwide.
One jackpot winner spent $25 million on nearly every possible number combination, while another bought tickets through a third-party app.
Attorney General Ken Paxton’s investigation came after Gov. Greg Abbott directed the Texas Rangers to look into the two lottery jackpots.
In the past month, lawmakers have taken action to reign in the lottery, including advancing a bill that prohibits the use of couriers. The Texas Rangers and attorney general’s office also are investigating a $95 million jackpot in 2023 and a $83.5 million win last month.
