* ''City of Fort Worth v. Rylie'', 602 S.W.3d 459, [https://scholar.google.com/scholar_case?case=2362665170562240558#p460 460-61] (Tex. 2020) (footnotes | * ''City of Fort Worth v. Rylie'', 602 S.W.3d 459, [https://scholar.google.com/scholar_case?case=2362665170562240558#p460 460-61] (Tex. 2020) (citations & footnotes omitted) ("For as long as the State of Texas has been the State of Texas, its citizens have elected to constitutionally outlaw most types of 'lotteries.' Contrary to the term's popular understanding, a 'lottery' includes not just contests involving scratch-off tickets and numbered ping-pong balls, but a wide array of activities that involve, at a minimum, (1) the payment of 'consideration' (2) for a 'chance' (3) to win a 'prize.' Since its ratification in 1876, our current constitution has affirmatively required the legislature to 'pass laws prohibiting' lotteries.") | ||
