The ticket purchase was illegal because they have to be purchased in person and not through a courier service.

The ticket purchase was illegal because they have to be purchased in person and not through a courier service.

then-executive director Ryan Mindell said that lottery ticket courier services “are not allowed under Texas law and that the Commission would move forward with proposed rule amendments prohibiting such services in the future.”

If couriers are illegal, why are they having to "move forward with proposed rule amendments prohibiting such services in the future."

Plus she's been doing this for years, and has always been paid for her winnings.

#6: "they have to be purchased in person and not through a courier service."

Americans with disabilities act might have something say.

IS that rule nationwide?

PEOPLE buy tickets in groups-—only one person actually makes the purchase, etc.

I throw $2 at MegaMillions every week. Have a few giggles with the people who sell them at my Safeway store. Especially Theresa, a 3rd grade teacher who works there because it pays better than teaching.

Occasionally win a few bucks. $35 one time, Someone won $3500 a few weeks ago. Too bad, so sad, not me.
