lottery.com, The People Who Spearheaded
The $95 Lotto TX Steal, is Selling US Games
Internationally For A Grossly Inflated Price.
I don't think sales of this nature is legal
in most states and is fair to all US lottery
players. Plus the people behind it cannot be
trusted in my humble opinion for one good
reason - they lie. Posted 9/27/25

The Scheme That Broke
the Texas Lottery
An excellent story even if I am a big
part of it! I do want to make one
VIP comment - you'll read where the TLC
says they "followed policy" when they paid the
cheated winners in the late 90's. And they did -
problem was - the newly written/edited "policy"
did NOT comply with the rule which clearly stated
the winners SHALL receive 32% of sales.
Anyway, keep this tidbit in mind as you read it!

A short clarification
Senator Hall misquotes a
couple of things that Id like to correct for him. In NO
way did he do this on purpose, it was simply mistakes
in quoting numbers. For instance, he says players
pick 9 numbers but we all know that players
pick 6 numbers and the other error was
that he said $12.8 million was spent but he
meant 25.8 million was spent. 5/18/25.

Great coverage on the events. They do have
one minor error - that I totally understand - and
that is that they refer to Gary Grief as a "Commissioner"
but he is actually the FORMER Lottery Director.

Betting Beyond Borders:
Lottery.com to Sell Texas Lottery
Tickets in Europe and Africa
Texas Scorecard by Daniel Greer 2/6/25
It was announced this week that lottery.com intends to sell
Texas Lottery tickets to international players. Even after
having no retailer license and after filing false information
with the SEC last week. If ya'll only knew what all
was "really" going on here, you'd be calling for law
enforcement to start putting handcuffs on several
individuals. When is the TLC going to stop these people
from winning our games and permitting such activity?

The 2024 Sunset Review of the
TX Lottery
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.

With of course, help from the Texas Lottery and

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.
