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.

Playing the Lottery is Not Worth Dying Over
Italy, Spain & China suspended lottery sales in an attempt
to protect their citizens. Obviously, the US doesn't care
because they are continuing to lure millions of players from their
homes each day for the sole purpose of purchasing lottery
tickets - a non- essential product. What a confusing message
officials have sent ... They say, "stay at home and only leave
to purchase "essential" items - if your caught going out
you could be fined" as they continue to allow the sale of
lottery products. A must read. Posted 4/8/20. Click here

prizes. Extremely risky for the state of Texas!

is held in this account until it is paid out. That figure is the

How very sad that lotteries are allowed to purposely offer
games of chance where there will most likely be NO winner ...
This is why our elected officials do NOT make lotteries
adhere to consumer protection laws - otherwise -
we'd have a FAIR game.

Next Lotto Texas Jackpot
The TLC is advertising the next pot to be
$45.5 million - but - they will NOT have
$45.5 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%.

- Was A $24 Million Mega Millions Jackpot
Next Jackpot: $32 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 53.3 billion tickets, conducted
2434 draws and only 257 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.

If Texas does not have THE 5+1 (jackpot winner), the

pay Texas prizes, MAY be sent out of state.

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.)
