Ms. Nettles,

Attached is the information you requested. Please note that page two
(2) of the attached spreadsheet also includes information you may find
helpful.

Concerning your request for the official Mega Millions rules and
procedures - I do not have the information in electronic format -
however, I would be happy to send you the information via mail delivery
- it is approximately 26 pages long. Please email me back with your
mailing address and we will send it out today. Thanks.

J.B.
Thank you very much for the data.

My mailing address is The Lotto Report, P. O. Box 495033, Garland, Texas 75049-5033.

From looking at the spreadsheets, it appears there have been at least 3 rule changes since inception of the game. If its only 26 pages, then I'm elated!!!!

When you said you didn't have the rules in electronic format, if you have them typed in Word or WordPerfect, you can send those files by email. Either way - mail or email - is fine. I just really need the rules - as you know, the Commissioners meeting is the 30th of June.

Anyway, thanks a bunch and I'll watch for the rules.

Ms. Nettles,

I promised to send you a copy of the "Mega Millions Official Rules"
this week. To ensure that you receive them in a timely fashion I would
like to send them via Fed-Ex so that you will have them tomorrow
(Thursday). As Fed-Ex requires a street address instead of a P.O. box -
could you please forward to me a street address to send them to? You
will have it tomorrow.

I am still working on your other requests for information. Thanks.

J.B.

Ms. Nettles,

I just faxed the information pertaining to the "Official Mega Millions
Rules" to the fax number you gave me. Please note that each page
represents each matrix change (3) since the game's inception - including
The Big Game. I went ahead and mailed the entire "Mega Millions
Official Rules" to you at the address you provided.

(Note: Because I hadn't received the rules and the Commissioners Meeting was set for June 30th, I asked JB by phone to "at least" fax the prize allocations for the 3 matrix changes immediately ... then he could just mail the rules in their entirety without the expense of Overnight Express charges.)

J.B.

I received the following message from Illinois this morning. You should also have messages from New Jersey and Michigan granting permission to release sales and winners by state since they became member states. I have not been able to obtain draw sales from info@megamillions and I still don't have the rules. Can you help me?

Ms. Nettles,

I spoke with Lisa Crites of the Illinois Lottery concerning your
request for previous versions of Big Game/Mega Millions Official Rules.
It is my understanding that Lisa can provide you with the information
you requested. Lisa can be reached at 217-524-5253 - she is expecting
your call. I will double check the status of your request for sales
information. Thanks.

(Note: I called again last week because I still had not received the rules. JB told me that he would check with legal. None of this makes sense to me because JB had the rules in his hand the morning of June 26th when he faxed me "one page" from each rule - though he didn't fax it to me until 5 pm that evening.)

J.B.

There have been a number of phone conversations since June 20, 2003. On Monday, June 23, I confirmed by phone that the rules had been mailed to me. JB assured me they had been mailed on Friday, June 20th. What more can I say about all this?
