The Texas Lottery, one of the largest in the U.S., is facing mounting scrutiny from state leaders over how the winners of an $83 million jackpot this month and a $95 million prize in 2023 purchased their odds-defying tickets. Both are among the largest jackpots in the history of the Texas lottery.

Lawmakers and state authorities are scrutinizing the Texas Lottery after online ticketing systems may have given an unfair advantage to winners of two multimillion-dollar jackpots. Why it matters: Attorney General Ken Paxton on Wednesday opened an investigation into two "suspicious and possibly unlawful" lotto wins by third-party courier services.

The State of Texas is reviewing two lottery wins. A recent $83 million jackpot involved a third-party courier named Jackpocket.
