The executive director of the Texas Lottery Commission resigned amid multiple investigations into jackpots totaling nearly $200 million. State law allows Texas jackpots to be claimed anonymously and two of the biggest jackpots in agency history drew intense scrutiny and criticism. In 2023, a $95 million jackpot was awarded when the winners bought nearly every possible number combination, more than 25 million of them. In Feb 2025, an $83 million ticket was won with a ticket purchased from a chain that operates locations in six states, and the April 2023 jackpot was collected two months later in the form of a one-time payment of $57.8 million to a company called 'Rook TX.' |
