Lotto Texas winner sues betting company and couriers, claims he was cheated out of $100M jackpotReply
It looks like the Texas Lottery in fact helped the Rook TX group buy out the Texas Lotto and the question seems to be the legality of doing that. Reed is claiming it is illegal and your guess is a good as mine as to why he is suing the Rook TX group and not the Texas Lottery. Brought up the similar Dawson lawsuit because it was directed at the Iowa Lottery and MUSL. Hopefully the Texas Legislators don't go overboard trying to correct the situation and throw the baby out with the bathwater.

Lotto Texas winner sues betting company and couriers, claims he was cheated out of $100M jackpotReply
There is a class action, possibly 2 including the lawsuit filed in Harris county. The argument being put forth is the Lottery Commission knew the intent of the group, rushed terminals and pallets of ticket paper to the courier service to enable their ability to print the necessary tickets. And even knowing there would be a winner, they continued selling tickets that promised the purchasers the chance at 93.5 million. They did this with inside knowledge that they had one winner and no one els

Attorney General investigates "suspicious and potentially illegal" Texas Lottery jackpotReply
Do you live in Texas? If you do, why are getting upset about something you never knew and it didn't bother you? Nope. Not going to bite on the bait of some established history when it's not the issue and debatable given the Mexican-American population in Texas. Go read about the class action lawsuit. It'll open your eyes.

They are Lying 100 percent that they don't know who purchased the second ticket . The fact is they already know if it was the same man or not . They are acting Stupid. If a man comes in a Bank and Robs a Bank on Monday with No Mask and the same man comes in on Friday and robs the Bank again with No mask . Even if the Lottery Department are senseless we now have Facial Recognition software that can compare two faces and tell you if they are the same person. At this point in time The lottery Depar

Winner who claimed half of $395 million Mega Millions jackpot sues California Lottery for other halfReply
Sounds to me like he played the same numbers twice on separate tickets and lost one of them. Say he filled out two or more play slips and had the winning set of numbers on two slips but didn't realize it. He checks his tickets after the drawing, finds one of the winners and in his excitement he doesn't check the other tickets that closely if at all. But he saves the play slips as a memento. At some later point he's looking at the play slips and sees that he played the same combo twice. But

Winner who claimed half of $395 million Mega Millions jackpot sues California Lottery for other halfReply
* When Lahijani showed up in June to pick up half the jackpot, he could have told the lottery officials that he was the winner of the entire jackpot, but at present, could not locate the 2nd ticket. Instead, according to the report, he did not want to talk to the press, nor were lottery officials made aware of his decision to be paid out in a lump sum or not. The guy was private, and that's his choice. Fast forward to December suddenly he's accusing the lottery of being dishonest, lacking in

If he bought both and took possession of both why didn't we hear about it when he claimed the (first) half of the prize? If he bought both and never got one of them why didn't we hear about it when he claimed the (first) half of the prize? If that happened to me I'd be telling the claims people what happened. For the latter a lawsuit seems appropriate, and it might even be even successful. For the former he's probably SOL because they always tell us that we need to have the ticket to claim t

Reason is Simple. 1. Lottery told him they can't investigate the second ticket until he file a lawsuit which he can't file till claim period is over so they can say 100 percent nobody else is claiming it with a ticket remember finder keeper. 2. His lawyer told him to stay quiet for his own safety and he never did any interview. Remember even if you tell the lottery what happened they are not your friend beside they are the beneficiary if you loss the ticket. Remember the movie ter
