Lotto Texas winner sues betting company and couriers, claims he was cheated out of $100M jackpotReply
My thought about the lawsuit (the one filed by the winner of $7.5 million jackpot who's claiming that it should have been $102.5 million) is, is what the London based company did legal? That's the sole question at hand; if it's legal, then he doesn't have a leg to stand on. If it's not, then he's got a great case. Either way, dude just made generational wealth, so there's really no way he doesn't end up a winner... unless he acts like all those lottery winners who spent his money on stupid stuff

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.

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

Sort of reminds me of when the Iowa Lottery and the MUSL were sued by Larry Dawson, who won a $6 million Hot Lotto jackpot several months after Tipton rigged draw. Dawson later received a $1.5 million settlement from MUSL. Had a group known as Rook TX not spent almost $26 million to buy to buy nearly every number combination The only way any wager on any drawing can guarantee winning is by purchasing every combination. What really makes this lawsuit bizarre is it's claiming they would

Had a group known as Rook TX not spent almost $26 million to buy nearly every number combination in a Lotto Texas drawing ... The cash value of the prize would have been approximately $8 million less than it was. Had the defendants not engaged in their illegal money laundering and game-rigging scheme ... It would be a shame if he lost what he did win defending and losing a lawsuit for defamation. Remember that big fat slob, Eddie Tipton You mean the guy that worked for the
