  Complaint #200098656 about working on a phone: not for me 

  Anyway you can see the chart and see the differences between the Texas All or Nothing and your game. 

  That chart wasn't set to show high to low hits. It was organized in order to show the sets of individual digits that make up each combination. In other words 31% of the combination in your 15/25 contain 10 different digits. Only 13% of the All or Nothing contain 10 digits .

  80% of your game falls in the top 10 sets (sets with 9 or 10 digits). And when you add the sets that contain 8 digits you have 98% of the game in 46 sets. There are 168 sets total which tells you how much dead water you're trolling.

  The Freq is frequency meaning how often a combination from that set should hit.

  Dreaming would be a perfectly useless function if it's only purpose was to entertain.

  I looked for your game results but couldn't find a link to download the whole game with one click. Resultados shows the draws individually. Ain't nobody got time for that.

  I did more work on Texas All or Nothing and as simple as it seems, there still appears to be very, very few jackpot winners. Not many second prize (500 dollar) winners either. 

  Seems most days the biggest winners get $50 or less. As far as value for the dollar goes a boxed Pick 3 fifty cent win pays $40 compared to a $2 All or Nothing ticket where you need to have 10 correct numbers to win $50.

  Still have a couple if more ways to turn it inside out before I decide to throw my nickel down.

  I got the file but my eyes are shot from looking at numbers, writing two sections and cleaning errors.

  Everything else has to be put on my waiting list.

  For what it's worth (maybe nothing), I played Pick3 around 20 years ago before it went to 4 draws a day. I did well on it by playing 1 number to repeat (123 played previously, I would pick one digit) from the previous draw and play it with 2 others boxed for $5, sometimes $10. I hit several times, once for $400. Alas, Texas got greedy and went to 4 draws a day.

  I also did well on AoL. I hit for $250 on it ($50 x 5), and often won $50.

  My beef with AoL is you can't play multiple days playing just one draw at one time. You have to go in the store every single day to play whatever draw you're wanting to play, whereas with Pick 3 or Daily 4 you can buy multi draw ticket for morning, day, evening, or night draws if you just want to play one draw a day.

  CAN'T WIN IF YOU'RE NOT IN

  A DOLLAR AND A DREAM (OR $2)

  I don't know squat about this 1224. Never done anything on it, with it, or about it. I ignored it. That's what I did.

  Yeah, it is a daily game, drawn four times a day, at $2 a combination. Like Pick 3 and Pick 4 only it costs more.

  But since my secret Santa days are done, and it was a good question, I thought I'd look at it. Still have some leather work to do but if I'm going to be lazy I have to be doing something .

  Maybe his 1525 pays better. Maybe it's cheaper. Maybe it's a trap by the Texas Lottery Commission. 🤣

  The biggest difference in the two games is you can't have nothing in his 1525.

  Worn out another keyboard which brings up the question:

  How many keyboards does it take to win a jackpot?

  Trekking into the deep end of Texas AON. No sure when I'll get around to this 1525. Answers just being up more questions.
