December 11, 2002 - One $12 Million Winner - Brownsville - CVO

Retailer: Tejano Mart, 834 N. Expressway, Brownsville
Winner: Jose Luis Betancourt - Collected $7,508,809 - 1-9-03 - Self Picked Ticket

Re-Cap of Dec 11, 2002 Lotto Jackpot Win Available Funds To Pay One 6 of 6 Winner Advertised Jackpot: $12 Million Total Sales In Roll: $20,006,420
6 of 6 share from sales (37.532%)	$7,508,810
Reserve Fund	+ $220,071
Excess 3 of 6 Funds (Will be added to Reserve)	+ $36,865
Total Funds "Available" To Pay 6 of 6 Winner	= $7,765,746
Investment Costs for a Return of $9 Million	$7,263,806
Reserve Fund Balance From Roll TLC's Share from Sales In Roll	$256,936 $9,002,889
From This “Roll” With Total Sales - $20,006,420 5 of 6 Winners Won: $557,880 4 of 6 Winners Won: $1,377,722 3 of 6 Winners Won: $1,303,365 Total: $3,238,967 But, this is not the amount that will necessarily be collected. Some of these funds will go into the "Unclaimed Prize Fund" and will never be returned to players. The winner chose Cash Value Option for this win. The winner will receive the amount in the prize pool, $7,509,314, as it is greater than the amount needed for a return of the advertised $12 million. However, the TLC has placed $256,936 (net) in reserve which is money that should have been paid to players. It comes from the 55% that "shall" be returned to the players.
