DALLAS, Texas– Representative Matt Shaheen has introduced a bill aimed at closing a loophole in the Texas Lottery system.

Shaheen, who represents the Plano area, filed the bill to address what he views as a legal gray area within the current lottery framework.

Third-party courier services have become increasingly popular, allowing customers to purchase tickets via mobile apps and online platforms, bypassing the need to visit physical retail outlets.

The controversy escalated when an $83.5 million jackpot was claimed by a ticket bought through one of these services, sparking concerns over the legitimacy of such transactions.

Supporters of Shaheen’s bill argue that allowing third-party couriers could undermine the integrity and transparency of the Texas Lottery.

Lt. Governor Dan Patrick has also weighed in, stating that the future of the Texas Lottery may be at risk if mobile lottery apps are allowed to continue operating.

He has stressed the importance of fairness and transparency in lottery operations, expressing concerns that the use of third-party services could compromise these principles.

Shaheen’s bill seeks to criminalize the operation of mobile lottery games within the state, effectively banning the use of courier services for purchasing tickets.
