A Texas woman with a winning $83.5 million lottery ticket may never get her mega payout because officials are investigating the app she used.
The woman, who has not been publicly identified, bought $20 worth of Texas Lotto tickets for the Feb. 17 drawing on the app Jackpocket — a lottery courier service state lawmakers are now trying to ban.

Why is the Gooferment involved in gambling in the first place?
And, if the “courier service” is a legal business now, what’s the problem?
Will the State refund all the tickets purchased thru the app?
I don’t think so.
And, economics experts have all pointed out that these State run games are a tax on the poor. As well as provide lucrative “jobs” for Gooferment bureaucrats.
Like so many other things run by the Gooferment, the private sector could do it better and give the players a better prompter payout.
Argh!
