I saw this story this morning and I was thinking, man,
I can't begin to fathom the chaos this would cause
in my life. Do you guys know the story of
the lady who is suing the lottery because they haven't
given her her money? Ooh what okay, Texas Lottery. Texas Lottery.
She the Texas Lottery is doing an investigation. Remember, and
(01:25):
this is why all this lottery reform is happening because
of these third party sites. She bought it through a
third party site. She was in Montgomery County. She had
eighty three point five million dollars that she won in February,
and they still have not given it to her. And
they're like, yeah, we're auditing to see what the legitimacy
of this is.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
Is it because she got she got it off like
a Jackpocket app or something exactly.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
They send you a picture of the actual lottery ticket.
So that's her proof, It.
Speaker 4 (01:54):
Says, is somebody else claimed the money, because if they
said there was a winner and they still have the money,
then give her the money.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
She used an app operated by Jackpocket, a courier company
that's a subsidiary of Draft Kings, to buy a single
ticket at Winter's Corner in Austin. Winter's Corner is a
licensed lottery outlet owned by Jackpocket. The lawyer who's heading
all this up, says, if the Texas Lottery is going
(02:21):
to allow people to play by their rules and then
they won't play at the end of the day, what
integrity does the Texas Lottery have non Greg Abbott, Dan
Patrick and Ken Paxton, who are all being called out
in this suit. But I just you know, I feel
terrible for this person. Can you imagine I've played Jack Pocket.
(02:41):
You get the picture, you get the receipt, We've done this.
I love Jack, have the confirmation in your it's right
there for you. We are first of all, you can
prove that they need to pay her. It's a questionable name, Jackpocket.
Speaker 5 (02:53):
You know what.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
It's kind of like a pool, a pocket pool.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
But we're three months removed from her winning and she
has not been able to get her money, and.
Speaker 5 (03:02):
So they are suing.
Speaker 4 (03:03):
They should Now they've had they've had some issues, right,
they've had because there were there were I think, and again,
this is a thirty thousand uh you know, thirty thousand
feet in the sky looked down on the story. But
I thought they've had some issues with somebody came in
and bought a million tickets or four million dollars in tickets,
four million dollars in tickets to win and to increase
(03:26):
their odds, and they were people were winning that way.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
And I don't remember the details of the story, but
I do remember something of that nature.
Speaker 4 (03:33):
Right, And if she's if she's not that, then give
her her money. What I don't understand, Yeah, are they.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
Accusing her of doing Well, what they're saying is everything's
frozen while they do this investigation.
Speaker 5 (03:43):
Yeah, and they're they're trying to get what it was like.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
They're trying to make plans to shut down the courier service.
Speaker 5 (03:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
When Yeah, even though it was eligible when she bought
the ticket, so she should get paid.
Speaker 5 (03:53):
Have they stopped the lottery though? Are they still going
on with it now?
Speaker 4 (03:55):
I can go buy a lottery right, Well, if they're
not going to pay, or they should stop, like, let's
freeze everything.
Speaker 5 (04:00):
Don't we freeze you guys making money too.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
It lost integrity for me when they stopped showing it
at nine to fifty nine pm before the local news.
You can actually see the balls drop, you can pick
three or the big five.
Speaker 5 (04:10):
That's when I lost my integrity with the lottery. And
then I quit playing when did your balls drop? Uh? Well,
really you want to know?
Speaker 4 (04:16):
Pingo for the lottery? I don't know what anyways, I
don't know. I've always enjoyed the lottery. I still have
faith in it. I believe in it, but this is
raising question marks. I feel like, what about the frozen
ping pong balls? Yep, you know what I'm saying. The
MAVs lottery? What about that?
Speaker 3 (04:33):
Good?
Speaker 5 (04:34):
I don't know. Do you I believe in it still?
I think? Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
I think I was just trying to connect with the
idea of your looking at that ticket and you think
you've won eighty three and a half million dollars, which
you know after taxes in.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Fifty two or whatever.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
And I'm just sitting there thinking, I can imagine what
this poor person is going through emotionally.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
Yeah, devastating, especially if she quit her job. Hopefully she didn't, right, Yeah.
Speaker 4 (04:58):
And there's nobody I don't think there's anybody to seeing
their mustache here going how can we screw this lady over?
I think it's probably killing them that they can't do it.
They're probably just all in hold.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
It is a great opportunity for an opportunistic lawyer to
get in the mix. All right, it's the beIN and
Skin Show ninety seven point one, The Eagle coming up next.
