On Thursday, the Texas Senate unanimously voted to ban lottery courier services, as allegations of money laundering and fraud prompted investigations from the Texas Rangers and the Attorney General's office.

The Texas Lottery, one of the largest in the U.S., is facing mounting scrutiny from state leaders over how the winners of an $83 million jackpot this month and a $95 million prize in 2023 purchased their odds-defying tickets. Both are among the largest jackpots in the history of the Texas lottery.

The Texas Lottery winnings being questioned have centered on the idea of bulk purchases of tickets through courier services.
