San Antonio Students Prove Texans
Have High Lottery "Mega-Q"

Like Washington residents, we're not falling for the
"un-winnable" games of chance!
Click here to
read Houston Chronicle (6/9/04) story.

Another really cute Mega-Q Story runs
in Virginia Newspaper (6/11/04), Click here.

* The $175M was advertised at $170M (2/21/06) - the TLC never issued a release saying
that the jackpot had been increased nor did the printed tickets say $175M. This is
important
because the Mega Millions group "guarantees" to pay the amount advertised. They say
they didn't change it because they didn't have time. This is not true - at least not
according to past testimony regarding this very issue. The TLC said the decision to up
the jackpot was made during the 10:45 AM conference call the morning of the actual draw.
If they can get a press release out within one hour of adopting a rule, why can't they get
the word out about increasing a jackpot amount 11 hours prior to a drawing?
