About
Recent "Show Cause" letters issued by the State of Texas declare all of the 26 million lottery tickets printed using an illegal QR code system in the April 22, 2023 $95 million Lotto Texas lottery drawing were invalid. As such, the tickets were worthless on their face. Millions in commissions were paid to the very entities that worked together to print the tickets, tens of millions in prize money was sent to Switzerland for "winning" tickets that were invalid, and the State of Texas took in $33 million in funds on tickets that were invalid and never could legally be paid for. Will Texas step up take action to reclaim the improper payments, and to make victims whole?
