Attorney Randy Howry Featured on NBC News NOW to Discuss Texas Lottery Lawsuit

Attorney Randy Howry of Howry Breen & Herman, LLP is proud to represent a Texas woman (who will remain anonymous for privacy reasons) who won the Texas Lottery but was upsettingly denied her winnings. Why? The Texas Lottery Commission said she can’t collect her winnings because Governor Greg Abbott instructed the Texas Rangers to investigate her win on suspicion of fraud because she bought the winning ticket through a service app called Jackpocket.

At the time she made the lottery ticket purchase, the app was completely legal to use; it still is, but now it is under official scrutiny. The decision to halt her $83.5 million jackpot winnings has stirred significant controversy across Texas, so NBC News NOW invited Attorney Howry to tell the story during a recent featured piece. During the interview, he explained how his client was entirely within her rights to buy tickets through Jackpocket and that she only spent $20 on a few tickets that lottery cycle, which should make it clear she was not part of some larger fraud group as had been implied by the Texas Rangers investigators.
