Two historic Texas Lottery jackpots have raised concerns and sparked investigations due to unusual strategies involved in winning them. A $95 million jackpot was won by Rook TX, which reportedly spent $25 million to buy nearly every combination. Another $83.5 million was won through a third-party app, Jackpocket, which also owned the print store. Allegations surfaced that large quantities of lottery tickets were ordered and scanned using QR codes, suggesting a strategy aimed at guaranteeing a win, leading to queries from state officials.
