FY18 Lone Star Line Up Sales
Lone Star Line Up continued through FY18 but they changed the promo
beginning May 13, 2018. For $5, a player will receive one $2 All or Nothing
ticket, one $1 Cash5 ticket, one $1 Texas 2 Step ticket, one $1 Lotto Texas
ticket then the player will receive one 50 cents Daily 4 ticket and
one 50 cent Pick3 ticket. The total dollar value of FREE Pick3 and
Daily 4 tickets given away in this one promotion was $881,507 in FY18.
If one were to ask what Lone Star Line Up sales was for FY18, the TLC
is unable to answer this question. However, if they "would" answer, the answer
would be FY18 sales for Lone Star Line Up was $4,407,535
------------------------
FY17 - About The Promotion - Lone Star Line Up
In FY17, the Texas Lottery began a promotion - Lone Star Line Up - that when purchased at $5 gave a
FREE 50 cent Pick3 ticket and a FREE 50 cent Daily4 ticket to players. The FREEBIES dollar value:
Pick3 $501,985; Daily4; $501,981.50. The sales figures should be the same but it appears G-Tech's
terminals erred. Interestingly, the TLC cannot/won't provide sales figures for Lone Star Line Up
even
though the formula is quite simple. See how to compute promotional sales ...
sales by draw, click here (pdf)
Total Lone Star Line Up Sales FY17: $5,019,875. (Extremely poor - IMHO)
Promo Sales broken down by game
All or Nothing was $2,007,950; Triple Chance was $2,007,950; Cash 5 was $1,003,975.
(These sales figures ARE included in FY sales shown above for FY17 and the
FREEBIES sales were deducted from Pick3 and Daily4 sales)
FYI - The promotions intent was to help increase sales for their failing games -
All or Nothing, Triple Chance and Cash5 - it didn't work.

A Few Extra Comments
Lotto Reports sales will vary from what the TLC reports.
This is because their sales figures include advance sales
and I compute and track DRAW sales.
The huge increase in overall FY16 sales is due to the changes
made to Powerball and Mega Millions. These changes guaranteed
players most likely will not win the jackpots and/or the 2nd prizes very
often due to the extreme high odds of the games. Larger jackpots entice
sales - like the $1 Billion jackpot. Unfortunately, many players are not
aware of the true impact
of the increased odds in these games.
The bad news is that in Oct 2017 - which is FY18 - changes are coming to
Mega Millions - increasing the odds again and increasing the price of a ticket
to $2 rather than $1.

- About FY14 Mega Millions Sales -
I'm sure you've all noticed that FY14 Mega Millions
and Megaplier sales increased by $72 million from
FY13 sales. The sole reason for this is a direct result
of ONLY two roll cycles.
In Dec 2013, there was a $656 million jackpot -
22 consecutive draws - and Texas roll sales
was a whopping $69.4 million.
But in March 2014, just a short 4 months later,
there was a $400 million
jackpot - 21 consecutive
draws - but
Texas roll sales was only $41.6 million.
As you can see, these two roll cycles brought
in $110 million for FY14 for Mega Millions.
You can also see how badly sales decreased too!
Imagine what Mega Millions sales would have been
had it not been for these two large jackpots.
Then imagine, if you will, how much sales would
have fallen from FY13.
FY14 Sales - Additional Comments
Scratch ticket (instant) sales are incomplete as I
write this on 8/31/14. As soon as I can obtain
unaudited FY14 instant sales figures, I will post it.
(Added scratch ticket sales for 51st week on 9/2/14)
With the exception of last year, the TLC generally
releases audited FY sales during the 2nd to 3rd week of
Sept. However, last year (FY13) they were 3 months late.
The Texas Lottery generally brags about "total sales"
which is deceiving - what matters is the bottom line.
Example - How much did the state make after all expenses
were paid? How much did the state lose in potential income
as a result of management decisions and rule changes?
These are questions that the legislature needs to consider.
If they would consider the real facts, then I'm quite certain
we'd have changes for sure.
It will be interesting to see how my figures differs from
the figures the TLC will release. I track draw sales daily
and I balance with the payouts. There should be some
differences because they should report every penny in sales
from literally Sept 1, 2013 through midnight Aug 31, 2014.
I, on the other hand, track "draw" sales - no advance
sales and if tickets are given away in promo's, I do
NOT count "freebies" as income.
In summary, Lotto Texas sales are down by <$11 million>;
Powerball sales are down by <$106 million;> Pick 3 sales are down
by <$14.7 million>; All or Nothing sales are down by <$17.3 million>
while Daily 4 sales are up by $8.6 million. Cash 5 and Texas 2 Step
are down by a total <$6.1 million>. No one can say that Extra
increased its sales because it started in April and hasn't had
two full years of play.
The Texas Lottery is planning on two new games to restore
sales in future years. Both games will fail in the long run - in
my opinion! It's too bad they don't fix things permanently
now rather than continuing with their failing ideas.
There's only one way to control the Texas Lottery and that
would be to have someone in the legislature know enough
to put a halt to all the changes. But there's no one, including the
Commissioners, who knows the history of the games and
the outcomes. The only state I know where the legislature
seems to care is Illinois - and I'm watching them with interest!
