The Tax Break Shenanigans of J. Winston Krause
In 2008, Commissioner J Winston Krause sued the IRS to get a
refund of interest and penalties he had paid for a disallowed
deduction and income. The disallowed deduction ... he
bought Canadian dollars for $20K; claimed he paid
$2.8 million; he showed a loss of <$2.7 million> yet
he had sold the Canadian dollars for $19.5K. A 2010
5th Circuit of Appeals quote ... "Krause's Tax
Chicanery" A very interesting and telling story
about the man who Chairs our Lottery.

Duplicate Winning Numbers Drawn? Hmm ...
Are Computertized Draws "Really"
Random & Trustworthy?
Yet another investigative story showing WHY
RNG's should be banned for use by the Legislatures.
Can you imagine having the same set of 5 or 6 numbers
drawn in consecutive draws? Of course, the lottery ignored
it! Remarkable findings - every one should read this story by
Jason Clayworth, DeMoines Register, 1/31/19.Click here.

Lottery Lawsuit Granted Class Action Status
Affects 7.2 Million Tickets In 19 States
Lotteries have been taking advantage of players for
a long time. In so many ways and players have
no recourse. So I'm thrilled to see a court
allow players to fight back. Great story - let's
all hope there's justice for players in the end.

from the TLC's operating account OR the schools share
of sales. We will now track to see how much money the TLC
is having to take from their operating account to fund prizes.
This is a direct result of the game offering "guaranteed"
prizes. Extremely risky for the state of Texas!
Note: When there is no winner, the monies due a winner
is held in this account until it is paid out. That figure is the
"Allocated From Gross Sales" figure above.)

Next Lotto Texas Jackpot
The TLC is advertising the next pot to be
$5.75 million - but - they will NOT have
$5.75 million - cash on hand - for the winner.
A 6 of 6 winner has won 40.47% from total "roll" sales.
They take this percentage of sales and IF invested, would give a
return of approximately the amount advertised over 25 years.
Players share is 50% of sales and the states share is 50%.

Next Jackpot: $212 Million

About Those Awful Changes To Mega Millions
If Players had consumer protection, rules like this would
not be adopted. Increased odds, increased ticket price ($2),
still offers a break-even prize and a jackpot winner receives
whatever amount the Finance Group determines - not the amount
in the prize pool. Posted 10/23/17. Click here for details

Interesting Mega Million/Big Game Stats
Since inception - They've sold 49.8 billion tickets, conducted
2288 draws and only 248 of those draws were won.

Important "Megaplier" Info For Players
The Megaplier number "drawn" is NOT drawn from
a traditional drawing machine and set of balls. It is
generated from a computer and is shown in animation.
It is NOT really a "random" number that is drawn.

- Interesting Stuff -
1606 Mega Millions drawings have been held in Texas.

Missouri (2), New Jersey (17), New York (31), North Carolina (2),
Ohio (19), Pennsylvania (2), Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee,
Texas (12), Virginia (9) & Washington (4)

If Texas does not have THE 5+1 (jackpot winner), the
"5 +1 allocated" amount is how much Texas will send
out of state for sure.

Low tier prizes - Whatever is not needed (allocated) to
pay Texas prizes, MAY be sent out of state.

Re-Cap of First 1594 Texas Draws

Low tier prizes won = $511,354,315
Low Tier Allocated = $497,866,235
Low Tier - Differences - Overpaid to Winners - $13,488,080
(Note: California doesn't send ANY of their low tier prize money out of state)
$$ Sent out of state to pay jackpot winners = Est <$903,041,110>
$$ to Texas from out of state to pay 6 jackpot winners = Est $518,702,940
More Has Been Sent Out of State Than What Has Come In - Est <$384,338,170>

About The Mega Millions Prizes
(Each states "guaranteed share" is 50% of its own
sales and the other 50% is "suppose" to be paid
out in prizes in all 43 states/jurisdictions. Because ALL
except the jackpot prize are "guaranteed prizes," players
are NOT guaranteed that they will see a return of
50% of sales and probably won't see that much.)
