We have two new winners both winning on quick picks, one picked none and the other had all 12. One day, TLC will make a mistake and give me a big win.

Thanks for the response. I should click on more links on the TLC website. I'll probably buy another $10 + freebie when I cash in later today, but the balance goes back into my MM/PB/TxL pot. I most likely won't play this game once the freebie is done (even until then not more than once or twice).

Well, you've pretty good.

This game uses lottery balls. You can also see the test draws on TLC's website, which details the ballsets and machines they are using.

I've put in about $16 so far, including one $10 purchase with a freebie. Payback $52. I'm pretty sure that won't continue.

I'm not so hot on the 4x's per day though. Once or twice per day seems sufficient.

Does anyone know if these are actual lottery balls or computerized

Very interesting observation. I missed that. With that being the case, I may invest more time in analyzing. I'm keeping a database of the draws.

Hopefully with the help of Lottery Post members, we can come up with some strategies.

At first I thought the jackpot odds of 2.7 million to 1 might be high for a $2 ticket but on further review each ticket has two chances of winning the jackpot and all the other prizes too. The odds of winning $250,000 are much better than in MM.

I'm gonna do a few dry runs starting tonight to maybe establish a baseline set of numbers. Seems that division might have a place in this particular game...looking for consistency within the 1/4 parameters.

The name of this game pretty much sums it up, but that hasn't stopped people from playing millions on PB and MM. If players prefer to play for life changing jackpots, all the lotteries will accommodate them. Those playing for the secondary prizes can get much better odds by playing other games.

I'm not surprised by the results at all. On paper it looks like an easy win. It's not. Just look at the odds. That tells you everything you need to know. I've played 3 times this week, and each time get 5,6, or 7 numbers which of course is what the odds say most people will get most of the time.

Looking at the sales info on TLC for the game, they are making money on this game, basically because it costs $2 for a ticket. If someone does hit a jackpot then TLC will be in the red for that partic... [ More ]

I've played it five times with the promo. Buy $10 worth and get a quick pick free. I've been fortunate to have broken even.

But here we are now at 20 draws (Sept 14), and still no jackpot winner.

Looking at the draw sales reports ... based off of gross sales and some very quick calculations, they are averaging in the ballpark of 54,000 lines of play per draw. The higher numbers obviously in the evening draws.

Like one of the earlier posts stated, it may take some time to establish a... [ More ]

Yeah, we may have a problem here. I can see where Ireland's payouts for the game reflected on their economic abilities to run it based on efficiency. Well, obviously if they cancelled the game, then it wasn't doing very well at all and maybe players began to complain and protest it. From what I can see, they need to get rid of drawing (12) numbers altogether. The more I think about it, it's tough to match or miss all (12) numbers for a top prize here.

It sounded good in the beginning but, I'l... [ More ]

The Texas All or Nothing game, I think, is structured to have the same payout as a $2 instant ticket, so it's better than your traditional online game.

You can compare both games if you have a list of the payouts and of the cost for one play.

What was it for Ireland?

The only problem in the calculation is the tax factor.

I think you need to give any new game some time to either build up a loyal following or not. Still way too early to tell about longevity, IMHO.

I don't think you can compare the top prize to the Ireland game, because of different prices and prize tiers.

Good comparison brittkimsdad, thanks for doing that investigating.

You may well have a good point, time will tell.

$2 is a lot to ask for such high odds, and low payouts.

Thanks for the heads up. I wasn't aware.

That might not be a good sign for the longevity of the Texas effort then.

Ireland's game was canceled. The last draw was Monday.

Texas All or Nothing Prizes Too Small??

brittkimsdad — Thu, 13 Sep 2012 18:46:44 GMT

I did a quick comparison between payouts of the Ireland All or Nothing and the Texas All or Nothing .

And if my Euro conversions are correct, here's what we have:

Ireland 1st prize: $500,000 Texas 1st prize: $250,000

Ireland 2nd prize: $5,000 Texas 2nd prize: $500.00

With the high odds and low payouts, will this game be in it for the long haul?

Looking at the daily draw sales reports, it would seem that sales aren't knocking 'em out of the park.

And as of this writing...... [ More ]
