(The monies allocated for the jackpot prize winner WAS held in reserve until
there was a winner.
Then it was paid out. However, effective
May 26, 2008, the
Texas 2 Step game no longer has a
"reserve account." The jackpot prize money
is just being held til there is a winner. And prize monies are no longer being
allocated for "reserve." The percentage that was
allocated to go into reserve
was added to the jackpot prize category. If they are short to fund prizes,
then the TLC
will take monies from the TLC's operating
account OR
the schools share of sales. We will now
track to see how much money
the TLC is
having to take from their operating
account
to fund prizes.)
When players are shorted OR when the TLC is having to fund prizes from
their operating acct - it's a direct result of the game
offering
"guaranteed" prizes. Extremely risky for the state of Texas!

"History of Jackpot Deductions From Reserve" below -
(Beginning balance (as of 4/23/06) in Reserve: $14,104,529)
(Note:
Just so that you know, $9,477,249 was added to
reserve
between May 4, 2003 through April 23, 2006 (5/44 matrix)
and there was $4,627,280 in reserve prior to May 4, 2003.)
Understanding the "Reserve Fund"
Prior to 4/23/06, 2% of the players share of sales was placed
in reserve
just in case extra money was needed to pay the
"guaranteed prizes." Additionally, in previous years, the TLC
actually transferred "reserve" monies [millions] to the General
Revenue Fund even though it came from "our" share of sales.
That money should have been paid out in prizes but never was.
The TLC has told players that they return either "50% or 55% or
52%" [the percentages varied by matrix] to the players - by way
of prizes - even though this has never really been the case.
They are no longer holding a percentage in reserve which is good. The
money in reserve will now be used - when & if it's needed - to fund the
jackpot prize when sales do not support the amount advertised. A jackpot
winner has a "guarantee" that he will receive either the amount in the prize
pool or the investment cost - whichever figure is the greatest. They will also
use the reserve funds to pay the $3 "guaranteed" prizes IF there is not enough
in the 3 of 6 prize pool. I'll track the monies and keep the balances posted at
all times so we'll know if we are truly receiving our share [50%] of sales.
- History of "Jackpot" Deductions From Reserve Since 4/23/06 -
(Sales did not support advertised amount)
8/31/06: Deducted <$96,222> from Reserve to fund Lotto Texas jackpot
9/23/06: Deducted <$667,337> from Reserve to fund Lotto Texas jackpot
4/21/07: Deducted <$997,113> from Reserve to fund Lotto Texas jackpot
(Ironically, the 4/21/07 jackpot went unclaimed)
5/23/07: Deducted <$286,575> from Reserve to fund Lotto Texas jackpot
3/29/08: Deducted <$1,136,033> from Reserve to fund Lotto Texas jackpot
4/12/08: Deducted <$1,642,954> from Reserve to fund Lotto Texas jackpot
(Ironically, as of 7/12/08, neither of the 4/12/08 winners have collected their prizes)
5/31/08: Deducted <$207,826> from Reserve to fund Lotto Texas jackpot
Next Lotto Texas Jackpot
The TLC is advertising the next pot to be
$30 million - but - they will NOT have
$30 million - cash on hand - for the winner.
A 6 of 6 winner has won 40.47% from total "roll" sales.
They take this percentage of sales and IF invested, would give a
return of approximately the amount advertised over 25 years.
Players share is 50% of sales and the states share is 50%.

| Unlike all other Mega Millions players, California MM players receive "pari-mutuel calculated" prizes for all low tier wins - therefore - CA players receive their full share of sales where we don't. In CA, the jackpot is the only "guaranteed prize" so a jackpot winner is the only one who probably won't receive his full share of sales. Any prize that's "guaranteed" is bad news for players. |
