Texas Lottery Executive Resigns Amid Ongoing Controversies and Investigations
The Texas Lottery is facing significant turmoil following the resignation of its executive director, Ryan Mindell.

Investigations have revealed questionable practices and raised concerns about potential rigging. Lawmakers are intensifying their oversight, leading to speculation about the integrity of the lottery system.
