S.B. No. 1346 introduces a new provision to the Texas Government Code that prohibits sales agents from knowingly selling lottery tickets to individuals attempting to purchase all or substantially all possible winning tickets for a lottery drawing. This new section, designated as Section 466.1555, outlines the responsibilities of sales agents and establishes penalties for violations. Specifically, if a sales agent is found to have violated this prohibition, the Texas Lottery Commission is mandated to revoke the agent's license for each licensed location involved in the violation.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that a sales agent whose license has been revoked cannot reapply for a new license until one year has passed from the date of revocation. This legislation aims to maintain the integrity of lottery games by preventing individuals from monopolizing ticket purchases in a way that undermines fair competition. The act is set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
