Texas Lottery Commission Executive Director Ryan Mindell has resigned following state investigations into two controversial jackpot wins.

The executive director of the Texas Lottery Commission has resigned, the latest shake-up at the state’s retail gambling enterprise amid multiple investigations into jackpots in 2023 and earlier this year totaling nearly $200 million,

The resignation comes after the Texas House adopted a budget that would reduce the lottery's budget to zero, leaving the agency's future uncertain.
