The bill, S.B. No. 1346, introduces a new provision to the Government Code that prohibits sales agents from knowingly selling lottery tickets to individuals attempting to purchase all possible winning tickets for a lottery drawing. This new section, 466.1555, outlines that if a sales agent violates this prohibition, the Texas Lottery Commission is required to revoke the agent's license after a hearing. Additionally, the bill stipulates that a sales agent whose license has been revoked cannot reapply for a new license until one year has passed from the date of revocation.

The legislation aims to maintain the integrity of lottery games by preventing individuals from monopolizing ticket purchases in a way that undermines fair play. The bill is set to take effect on September 1, 2025, allowing time for the necessary adjustments to be made within the lottery system and for sales agents to comply with the new regulations.
