We have not had such a major lunatic for a while. He keeps coming back for more. Def off his meds. His rambling is all over the place. Guess he comes here and posts between rants on street corners.

And yet you still return time and time again to argue with said person Fraud is over!! Did you hear about Trump and JD Vance's 25 Million Dollar whistleblower program to encourage the public to report alleged fraud? I'm reporting them and YOOOOOU

When a nutty poster claims others are in the know and LP allegedly has a youtuber shill , you know he has lost his marbles. Delusions of grandeur. You all know if his bizarre claims were true, he would be the last person in the know about LP contacts. Since when does he speak for Todd and Kate???? He is a nobody.

He seems to not understand basic legal issues. It does not require a law degree or PhD to understand the simple case that was filed.

You can down vote my comments as much as you like. If that helps the fears to subside a bit, I welcome it. I love that for you. Kate and Todd are sitting back and they know this is about to get epic. Their shill on youtube, Timothy Schultz knows it too.

You are so desperate for details and you are just acting like you don't see what's right in front of the entire world's face. The situation is not completely about Mr.Grief, He's just the warm up exercise. You have very childlike wishful thinking and seem to suffer from super optimism. The entire Texas Lottery commission got indicted even the dead guy. This is about to be epic due to it being systemic. The Multi State Lottery Association is about to get what they've been hungry for and it's not... [ More ]

I agree. Misuse of government property. No evidence of a criminal conspiracy.

Texas needs to get over it. They had no bar to 3rd party vendors buying large groups of tickets at that time and they delayed paying the winner. They are making a fool of the state.

And no mention of a criminal RICO charge. Told you all. And this matter has no connection to Tipton.

Facts are facts. It is misuse of government property as the indictment stated. There is zero evidence of a criminal conspiracy.

How could you possibly think its ok for someone who works for the lottery to provide a group of

people with ipads and extra terminals loaded with software that prints 100 tickets per second until all the

combinations are bought up to guarantee a win? How? That is clearly criminal activity because it takes away the Everyone has the same chance of winning from the game and it absolutely guarantees a jackpot win to the organized group. Which, essentially hijacks the prize from the people of... [ More ]

Exactly!! I'm with you on this. I foresee this busting open a bigger systemic problem going all the way back to The Multi State Lottery Association and what happened on November 7th, 2022. Especially since Mr. Grief was the President of The Multi State Lottery Association around 2016, and Eddie Tipton (MUSL Employee convicted of insider fraud) was the brother of the Texas justice of the peace who won a lottery prize rigged by Tipton. This thing is SYSTEMIC!! Gary Grief is not a lone shark in the... [ More ]

* I couldn't disagree with you more. Why? Cause Texas had no problem with their lottery game growing to $95 million but no sooner does an outside outfit win their own State Jackpot that the finger pointing began.

* Texas is weird, not saying my State isn't but Texas is also hoping to get their own former impeached Attorney General to represent them in Washington. It must be the water.

Even if he didn't profit directly, he undermined the integrity of the game as well as the trust of the public. Who wants to play the lottery knowing a private equity entity might be lurking in the shadows up to some nefarious business??

And on top of that the commission itself is colluding with them?!? SERIOUSLY

Unless he profited directly from this scheme which doesn't sound like he did I can't say how he committed a crime. I don't think he's going to get convicted of anything than other maybe incompetence. If that.

Yes, they did win. So basically they bought the jackpot.

Did they win with all those tickets? $26 million in tickets is a big bet to risk.
