Ryan Mindell, the executive director of the Texas State Lottery, resigned amid ongoing investigations into a scandal where European bettors were allowed to purchase millions of lottery tickets. The situation raised concerns about the legitimacy of the lottery operations and prompted the Texas Rangers and attorney general's office to step in. Following a critical report from The New York Times, along with concerns raised by state senators regarding potential money laundering, state leaders suggested the possibility of eliminating the lottery entirely, which raises significant funds for education.
'The resignation of the official, Ryan Mindell, came amid doubts that the Texas lottery can survive the scandal.'
'The Texas Rangers and the Texas attorney general's office have opened investigations into the 2023 draw.'
