Caught Misrepresenting

Texas Scorecard by Daniel Greer
This is truly a long overdue story - As you
can see from everythng I've posted
since the April 2023 stolen Lotto Texas
$95 million jackpot, I'm elated to
see that the media is picking up on
the true FACTS behind the TLC's
actions/neglect to its loyal players.
How they'll cheat us and their
loyal lottery retailers all for the

The 2024 Sunset Review of the TLC ...
Massive Coverage on the Apps
& The Stolen $95M Jackpot
The Sunset Commission completed its
review of the TLC and presented it
to the Commission on 8/14/24. I did
submit both written and oral testimony
at the hearing. Since then, I've submitted
additional comment. I'm extremely proud
to say that the Sunset Commissioners
did not believe most of the TLC's
testimony. This is a hearing you should
all watch. The TLC's testimony starts
around 11:55 am.

QR Codes to purchase nearly 26 million tickets.
With of course, help from the Texas Lottery and

About The $95 Million
Lotto Texas Win
Part One of a Five Part Series
The TLC implies in two Press Releases
that your neighbors and fellow players
were rushing out and buying lottery tickets
for an exclusive chance to win the jackpot.
They knew better but spead that rumor anyway.
Posted 5/2/23 - Click here.

Part Two of a Five Part Series
Did Gary Grief skirt the laws to allow Apps
to sell Texas Lottery tickets via their phones
and online? Did he lie to the media and
to the Senate Finance Committee when he
explained how "couriers" were sent to
licensed Lottery retailers to purchase lottery
tickets? Finally, see how the Apps work.

Gary Grief Testify's ...
At a House Licensing & Administrative
Hearing ... Go watch the video - he's the
first witness ... He calls "Jackpocket" - an app
that allows you to buy lottery tickets online -
a "messenger service." What a line of BS he
fed the committee ... Online lottery sales is
ILLEGAL in Texas - if our 17,000 retailers
knew they could charge an extra fee for
selling tickets, they'd do it.
