TAG Seeks the Texas Legislature’s Ban on Online Texas Lottery Ticket Sales and So-Called “Courier Lottery Ticket Sales”

The Texas Legislature should end the Texas Lottery’s online sales of Texas Lottery tickets. Arguably an illegal practice presently, the Texas Lottery Commission appears to believe it is operating in a legal “gray area.” The problem: the online sales harm ordinary Texans by failing to protect them against stacked odds, as recently exposed by excellent investigative journalism in the Houston Chronicle.
