How Texas officials invited the statement of the state lottery

In 2023, professional bettors in Europe were trying to find an American partner to help make a daring plan to buy almost all tickets before the right lottery draw in the United States.

Then something remarkable happened in Texas. Austin officials have essentially blessed the rigging of their own state lottery.

“What we had was a criminal business in our government,” said state senator Bob Hall, a republican investigating Caper.

In a state known for its aversion to government regulations, the successful manipulation of a Texas lottery took a deep meaning. The Texas Senate has held audiences. Governor Greg Abbott and Attorney General Ken Paxton ordered investigations. Texas House stopped funding for the state lottery in its budget this month.

However, with their earnings in tens of millions of dollars, the authors remain very unscathed. And as the poorly recommendable details are released – the storefronts presenting themselves as retailers spitting lottery tickets, texts between ticket printers and a former drug smuggler, a winner hiding behind a shell company based in Delaware – the getaway has underlined an omnipresent meaning in Texas and America, that everything is almost rigged.

The way in which the Texas lottery was set in 2023 was explored by the media and in the hearing rooms of the State Capitol. But less understood is the key role of state regulators. The Times has discovered new details and video evidence that underlines how the state lottery commission has integrated to ensure a jackpot.
