Woman Hit The Lottery For $83 Million, But They Won’t Pay Her
I’m so angry about this story right here as a woman hit the lottery for $83 million, but they won’t pay her over in Texas. Here is what went down, she bought the ticket through a “courier” app called Jackpocket that’s owned by the gambling site DraftKings.
You pay through the app, and they send someone to buy your ticket. Lawmakers in Texas have been trying to ban the app because Texas state law says you have to pay cash for lotto tickets. Around 9% of tickets sold in the state are bought through one.
The state senate just currently passed a bill that would have banned them. But the house didn’t pass it, so it never became law. After the women’s win, the lottery commission said they were banning them, so Jackpocket stopped operating in Texas.
Now Texas Governor Greg Abbott has launched an investigation into the win, and that’s why she hasn’t been paid. The lottery says they won’t pay up until the investigation is over.
They’re also looking into a big lotto win back from 2023, where a company right here in Jersey, and spent $25 million and won a $95 million jackpot. So they beat the system, and officials don’t like it.
Gotts’ Thoughts On This Story
LAWYER UP HUNNY !!! I would be raising Hell if I were in her shoes. How could an app even be allowed if this was an issue? I think she won fair and square and should be paid every penny of that $83 million. It would also be my luck for something like this to happen to me.
