“This is not the way the lottery was designed to operate,” Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick said in a video posted to X, formerly Twitter, after the $83.5 million ticket was sold through an Austin retailer owned by a lottery courier.

Someone won an $83.5 million prize from the Texas Lotto, according to the Texas Lottery. The winner purchased the ticket at Winners Corner, at 7817 Rockwood Lane Ste 101B in Austin.

Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick is investigating the legality of lottery couriers after a winning $83.5M lottery ticket was sold at a North Austin store. That store has sold several winning tickets in the past couple of years.
