#228 - Break the Bank ($2) - Debut Date - 2-23-01 Approx. 50 million tickets Actual Number Printed: 51,372,750 Don't Confuse this Game with: #174 Break the Bank (Approx. 50,000,000 printed) & #215 Break the Bank (Approx 50,000,000 printed) (Sorry, I didn't have this one posted before they started the game and it's not included in the latest Lotto Report. I inquired on Friday, Feb. 23, 2001 as to when this ticket was to start and was told they did not know. Now, as of 2-26-01, they say they started this game on 2-23-01. If buying this game, be sure and request this game number. The TLC didn't even post this one as an upcoming game on their web site. I suppose they want to "sneak" a "reprint" through!)

#203 - Cash Explosion ($1) - To Be Introduced Feb 28, 2001 Approx. 30,000,000 million tickets (TLC Actually Received - 29,338,500) Note: Did you know that as of Feb. 16, 2001 the TLC still does not know how many of these tickets were printed and as of Feb. 22, 2001 the game is still due to start on Feb. 28, 2001! Update: On Feb. 23, 2001, the TLC released the actual figures. The odds calculated are based on the "approx" number of tickets and the "approx" number of prizes - but to show you how miniscule the changes are when comparing "actual" vs. "approx" - I've calculated it both ways for you. The numbers in blue shows the odds based on the "actual" number of prizes and the "actual" number of tickets printed. In this case, the TLC received a little less than the number they ordered.
