Duplicate Winning Numbers
Drawn? Hmm ... Are
Computertized Draws
"Really" Random
& Trustworthy?
Yet another investigative story
showing WHY RNG's should be
banned for use by the Legislatures.
Can you imagine having the same set
of 5 or 6 numbers drawn in consecutive
draws? Of course, the lottery ignored it!
Remarkable findings - every one should

Lottery Lawsuit Granted Class
Action Status Affects 7.2 Million
Tickets In 19 States
Lotteries have been taking advantage of players for
a long time. In so many ways and players have
no recourse. So I'm thrilled to see a court
allow players to fight back. Great story - let's
all hope there's justice for players in the end.

The Tax Break Shenanigans
of J. Winston Krause
In 2008, Commissioner Krause sued the
IRS to get a refund of interest and penalties
he had paid for a disallowed deduction
and income. The disallowed deduction ...
he bought Canadian dollars for $20K;
claimed he paid $2.8 million; he showed
a loss of <$2.7 million> yet he had
sold the Canadian dollars for $19.5K.
A 2010 5th Circuit of Appeals quote ...
"Krause's Tax Chicanery" A very
interesting and telling story about
the man who Chairs our Lottery.

NO Billion Dollar Winner
in Second Chance
Willy Wonka Drawing
On April 18, 2018, the players who were
selected "privately" during a "public drawing"
appeared in Las Vegas for a so called
"chance" to win a billion dollars. Of
course, no one won a $1 billion. Imagine
that! Click here for complete story.

About Those Awful Changes
To Mega Millions
If Players had consumer protection, rules like
this would not be adopted. Increased odds,
increased ticket price ($2), still offers a
break-even prize and a jackpot winner receives
whatever amount the Finance Group
determines - not the amount in the prize pool.

Lone Star Line Up - Sales By Draw
(Lotto & 2 Step effective 5/13/18)
See the dollar value of tickets sold for Cashfive, 2 Step,
Triple Chance, Lotto TX and All or Nothing as a direct
result of this promotion. NOTE: While FREE tickets
(sales) for Pick 3 and Daily 4 should be the same, for
some reason, in several draws, sales varied. In this
pdf, figures shown in RED represents those figures
that differed. Originally posted 9/7/17 - Will update
pdf on a regular basis. Click here (pdf)

About Lone Star Line Up
A TX Lottery Promotion
The TLC claims they do not know how many
Lone Star Line Up tickets are sold each day.
Plus they reported conflicting sales figures for the
FREE Pick3 and Daily 4 tickets that players
receive when they purchase the $5 promotional
ticket. Posted 1/22/17 Click here.
