May 25 (UPI) -- A Texas woman has sued the state's lottery commission for not awarding her $83.5 million three months after she had the winning ticket in a February Lotto Texas drawing, according to court documents.
"Every Texan knows what that should mean when it comes to the lottery - if you win, you should get paid," the lawsuit said. "It should take a lawsuit to get paid when you win the lottery. But that's exactly what has happened here."
The woman, identified as Jane Doe in court documents, said she bought her ticket using an app called "Jackpocket" through Winners Corners, an Austin-based third party lottery retailer, on February 17, and presented it to the commission on March 18.
A week later, the Texas Lottery Commission said it would be banning the purchase of lottery tickets through unregulated ticket courier services, such as Winners Corners.
