Mass draws a 4 digit number on which you can make 3-digit bets.

Does any one remember ENRON? They too lied to the public and some of them got jail time. Need I say more

Lantern:Not a bad idea! New Mexico has something similar, but I like your idea better. NM makes you select the balls in the order they are drawn which is pretty difficult, but they do award something for the last ball. Don't know how popular it is, however. The NM people might hate it. Good thing to look into if there were any way to get comments on the game.Orangeman

Crowe and his 2 buddies need to be fired, too. They meet every month to find ways to make more for the state by reducing player payouts. The Lotto game is a good example of how lotteries can rip off their players.Gov. Perry needs to clean house.However, I doubt if anyone will be fired. Greer will probably receive a slap on the hand and be made to promise he won't do it again - until next time.

There are pick 3 and pick 4 games, I have just come out with a pick 3 1/2 game or better it might be called 3 out of 4 picks.It is a pick 4 game if you get 3 numbers right in a particular pre-chosen sequence (when you buy the tcket) you get a certain ammount, if you get 3 digits right in any sequence at all, you get less money.If you get 4 digits right in the right straight order you get a fairly high ammount of money, if you get 4 digits right in any order you get less money than if you got the...

The Texas Lotto 44/44 matrix is a rip-off. Players have given up on it, and rightly so. The TLC was in trouble long before they joined Mega Millions. That is just an excuse for a flawed system that no one is willing to repair, much less address in an intelligent manner. Orangeman

This is just another example of how the Lottery does business. You have to go along to get along at the Lottery. They tell their employees at every available opportunity that they are At Will employees. In other words, if you do or say something that doesn't jive with the good ole' boy line of thinking, your at will butt is gone. Of course, your records will say terminated for cause , and something will be automagically put in your files. It's just scandalous, and I hope the media rape... [ More ]

Let us ask for a 6/49 Texas Lotto and a pick 4 game to go with the new Texas lottery crew.

Lee Deviney, the head of the lottery's financial administration office, was fired after sending Greer an e-mail raising concerns about the jackpot for the June 8 drawing. Lottery officials said the firing was unrelated to the memo, but Deviney said last week that he believed that the events were related. I felt like someone was going to suffer, he said, and it turned out to be me. If you bend down over the rail of a railroad track and put your ear to it you can hear a train coming from a long,...

Thomas Clowe said Tuesday that he could not comment on the matter. But in two public meetings in less than a week, Clowe has harshly criticized Executive Director Reagan Greer, saying that he had deceived the lottery-playing publ... [ More ]
