I assume you're talking about the Pick-a-State case? The Texas Lottery fought the ticket-holder, but lost, and the winner got their money.

What about Texas, aren't they the one famous exception that refuses to pay? Of course if one isn't so foolish to say they bought the ticket through a service . . .I knew something didn't sound right about the lotter, that's the trouble with sites where you have to join to find out the whole truth in the fine print.

WARNING: does NOT actually buy the tickets you are paying for. Like Lottery Universe, they are running their own private lottery, and making you THINK that you're playing your state lottery.Using a butler service (as BobP describes) has been proven legal in the US (every jackpot winner using a butler service has received the full prize), but a private lottery like and Lottery Universe are patently illegal, and you would likely NOT receive your prize money.

They're a butler service that will buy lottery tickets for you for a fee. They also host their own lottery for their members using Florida 6/53 draws for the results, kind of a second chance for those who paid to play. You would have to join to find out the obligations of membership to play this game.BobP
