Since having his winning $1 million lottery ticket stolen by a lottery agent in 2009, Willis Willis has been on a quest to not only recover his rightful winnings but also to spur Texas Lottery officials to answer key questions about fraud and security safeguards in the Mega Millions and other popular games. In the hard-fought legal battle with the Texas Lottery Commission, a Travis County judge has ordered lottery officials to answer key questions under oath regarding lottery fraud in Texas. "This is an important ruling because the success of the Texas Lottery hinges on the public's confidence in the integrity of these games," says Sean Breen of Austin-based Howry Breen & Herman. "The lottery so far has refused to acknowledge its role in this and other thefts by store clerks, and it's about time they provide some answers." For more information, contact Robert Tharp at 800-559-4534 or robert@androvett.com.
