Texas Moves to Dissolve Lottery Commission Amid Introduction of New Gaming Regulations

(Texas).- Governor Greg Abbott secured the continuation of the Texas Lottery for an additional four years by enacting new legislation that imposes stricter regulations on the state's gaming operations, following legislative discussions about potentially eliminating the lottery.
On Sunday night, Gov. Greg Abbott ensured the Texas Lottery will continue for another four years, signing into law new provisions to clamp down on the state’s games after lawmakers weighed abolishing the lottery entirely.
As lawmakers sparred over high-profile issues like public school funding, property tax cuts and THC regulation, the Texas Lottery emerged as a smaller, unexpected flashpoint during the recently-completed regular session.
Criticism of the lottery and the Texas Lottery Commission largely stemmed from two controversies: a $95 million Lotto Texas win claimed by a single group that purchased 99% of the 25.8 million possible ticket combinations and the proliferation of online ticket sales through apps known as lottery couriers.
Couriers act as ticket resellers, printing physical tickets for customers across the state in small stores they own before sending digital scans of the tickets for customers to view through apps. Some lawmakers said the services violated state law, which banned sales “by telephone,” while providers said they acted legally and with the approval of the lottery commission.
