__________________________

About This Page

This page is being used as an "attachment" to a letter
I sent to the Texas Lottery.

In a nutshell, the issue at hand here is the Texas Lottery has
declared that I am NOT a news outlet nor a reporter because
a new law states that to qualify as such, the reporting
must be for "profit" or one's "livelihood." Therefore, they
have limited my open records requests to 36 hour per year
and once that threshold has been met, then I must pay
them for the time spent producing documents.

They arrived at their decision, according to their letter,
that I have no income, based on "sworn testimony"
given by me in my Fun 5's deposition.

In my response, I've explained that the attorney
NEVER asked if I produced any other publications,
newsletters, reports since 1993 and they've arrived
at a conclusion based on incomplete data.

Here I'm showing that I do, in fact, sell the
Pick3 Combinations Report and have since 1995 or 1996.
Further, I'm showing how they KNEW I produced this
report but never thought to simply ask before cutting me off.
(By the way, I think its important to note that they proposed
and adopted the amendment to change their open records
rule after I began the Perks of A Lottery Director story.
Also, the Commissioners asked NO questions either
when it was proposed or when they adopted the rule.
This is very sad.)

Before Reading This Page ...
You really need to read my July 28, 2020
response to the TLC's July 9, 2020 letter.
Click here to read the letter, pdf

-------------------

- Inserted/Added 08/08/20 -
I failed to address a very important issue
the TLC mentioned in their letter - specifically
the number of requests I'd made in FY21. I felt
they were insinuating I was taking advantage in
requesting public information. I think you will all find
this letter of great interest. In a nutshell, I explained
that the vast majority of the requests were for reports
they produced weekly. Click here to read the letter.
Then ....
Either scroll down to the bottom of this page
or click here to see copies of the reports I request
each week. If YOU wanted these reports weekly,
even you couldn't obtain them because of the
new time limit the Commissoners approved.

Is There Really A Pick3 Combinations Report?

Please notice on the cover of these 1999 Lotto Reports is a
promo for Pick3 Report (see bottom). The Lotto Report
sold in retail locations in Dallas, Houston and
San Antonio beginning in 1993.

So Here's A Few Back & Current Editions
of the Pick3 Combinations Report

Important Note
The only reason I can produce these reports is because
I had posted them on my site for various reasons over
the years and copies were still on my sites server.

I edit my files 4 times daily but save them
using the same file name. (Explained in my
July 28th letter to the TLC and was also
explained when I was deposed)

The Latest Pick 3 Combinations Reports
( Includes all pages)
.
Current Edition - July 19 - Aug 2, 2020 - #29

Last Edition - July 5 - 19, 2020 - #27

These files were renamed and saved
specifically for the Texas Lottery.
The July 5th report was saved on 7/16/20
which was after the report had been revised
since sending to subscribers. Under normal circumstances,
the pdf file name remains the same and never changes.

A Walk Down Memory Lane

- See the Snapshots of Old Webpages -
Including The Coverage of
Pick3 and/or Pick 3 Combinations Reports

1998 - Internet Presence - lottoreport.com -
Because I edit/write over all files and have no backups, to create this
timeline, I'm using Screen Shot Captures by WayBackMachine.com
and my memory. - FYI - "Snapshots" are taken periodically.
There are three web addresses of significance ...

Home Page Edited
Subscriptions paragraph removed
due to ceasing publishing of
the Lotto Report (2013).
No longer in left column.
This is important because you will
see where I failed to edit other pages
that I forgot but they should have been edited.
By this I mean, should have removed information
pertaining to purchasing the Lotto Report.
August 2, 2014, click here

I could continue to show snapshots but
it's not necessary as the Home page has
basically remained the same since then.
It's edited every day since the 2010 change.
Feel free to look for yourself when you are
viewing the pages. Just select other dates.

Edited Page on Jan 16, 2001
I kept receiving calls pertaining to the Pick3 Report
as a results of the Pick3 predictions being posted.
So I removed the P3 logo from this page that was
"intended" to show the the Lotto Report. However, as
you saw, the Home page still showed the P3 Report.

Having said this, it is important to note that
when I quit publishing The Lotto Report,
I failed to update this page showing it
was no longer published. On the
following links, notice that the
Lotto Report is still shown as
"alive," but it wasn't.

I can tell you that recently, due to my
Open Records problem, I discovered this page
hadn't been edited or corrected. It should have
been changed and I should have changed what
was written about the Pick3 Combinations Report.

The June 27, 2019 is the last snapshot
of the Subscribe page. In fact, this site has
no snapshots for 2020. Must be the virus
slowing things down for them.

If you want to see how it reads today, here
is a link. It was finally changed to reflect
subscriptions are available again. Click here

Does the Texas Lottery really believe that, since 2003,
I've updated this page 4 times per day for the HELL of it?

- In Summary -

Should anyone be wondering WHY the Pick3 Combinations Report
became so popular, just compare Lotto Texas sales to Pick3 sales.
This is a game players like to play for fun and a challenge. But
they need data if they want to use the Sum Theory - and I have it!
By comparing sales, it should be evident why it was so popular.

Open Records time limits, Click here

-----------------------------------

- See What I Request Each Week For You -
But BEWARE - you can't obtain these reports
without having to pay for them either because
the newly amended TLC rule doesn't allow
enough time. You are limited to 36 hours
which is not enough time to simply obtain
the following game and financial reports
for all 52 weeks.

Sad but true.

1) Instant ticket summary, click here
(On this report, notice game #1804.
It shows no tickets sold yet I
bought these tickets last year. I
keep asking, where's the money?)

2) Drawing Incident Report, click here
(When something happens during a drawing)

3) Lotto TX draw stats, click here
(Data used to see if they are cheating
or something is wrong with the balls)

4) Powerball draw report, click here
(Sales, number of winners, allocations
& reserve funds. Are players receiving
their share of sales?)

5) Mega Millions draw report, click here

7) End of production prize structure, click here

8) Upcoming Scratch Ticket artwork, click here

9) Weekly sales report (I no longer request
this report as it's posted on TLC site), click here

NOTE:
If you open an excel file but see a blank page, click on
"Window" then "new window" and you'll see the file.

Also, if any of you do request any of these reports,
please share with me because so far, I haven't receivd
anything since April.
