How to stop text alerts.

I am signed up with Virginia Lottery to receive daily numbers via text.  I now would like to end this.  I am told by them to reply to their message with STOP.  Every time I try this it fails.  This has happened elsewhere too.

This is from the Virginia Lottery website:  (if texting STOP does not work, try the phone or email option.

To stop receiving text alerts or get help, text the relevant keyword below to 82568:

STOP = to stop receiving all text alerts
HELP = to receive help with your text alerts

Thank you SuzyQ for your response.  Much appreciated.  I have contacted the Virginia Lottery and company that supports their text messaging.

However, I am looking for a solution to this issue as well.  I have had other text alerts that would not end as well.  Is there something in Text Messaging Settings or something else that I need to address to rectify this issue?  I am lost for an answer and have tried just about everything that I could address on my telephone.

Your assistance is greatly appreciated!!  Thank you!
