July 3, 2002 - One $9 Million Winner - Merkel - CVO
Retailer: Allsups, Rt. 1 Interstate 20, Merkel, Tx
Winner: Allen Wilhite, Lubbock - Collected $5,089,574 on 7-8-02 - Self Picked Ticket

Re-Cap of July 3, 2002 Lotto Jackpot Win
Available Funds To Pay One 6 of 6 Winner
Advertised Jackpot: $9 Million
Total Sales In Roll: $13,560,623
6 of 6 share from sales (37.532%) $5,089,573
Reserve Fund + $149,167
3 of 6 Excess Funds + $21,886
Total Funds Available To Pay 6 of 6 Winner = $5,260,626
Investment Costs for a Return of $9M $5,071,788
Balance For Reserve
TLC's Share from Sales In Roll
 $171,053
$6,102,280

From This “Roll” With Total Sales - $13,560,623
5 of 6 Winners Won: $378,296
4 of 6 Winners Won: $946,302
3 of 6 Winners Won: $886,540
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 6 of 6 winner will receive all that is in the prize pool as there were sufficient funds to invest for a return of $9 million over 25 years. The TLC did not have to take funds from reserve to make good on the 6 of 6 win or to cover the 3 of 6 winners. Keep in mind, the reserve fund comes from the players share of sales.

Re-Cap of June 22, 2002 Jackpot
Available Funds To Pay Five 6 of 6 Winners
Jackpot: $70 Million (Under-Estimated)
Total Sales In Roll: $113,269,013
6 of 6 share from sales (37.532%)
(This figure will be split by 5 winners) 		$42,512,126
Reserve Fund + $1,245,959
3 of 6 Funds Needed From Reserve <$5,259>
Total Funds Available To Pay Winners = $43,752,826
Investment Costs for a Return of $70M
(The TLC later stated this jackpot was $74 million because the $2,421,530 in excess funds would have brought in an additional $4 million had it been invested.) 		$40,090,596
Balance for Reserve
TLC's Share from Sales In Roll
 $1,240,700
$50,971,056
Special Note
The current rule states that the 6 of 6 winner will receive either the amount in the prize pool OR the amount needed to invest for a return of the advertised amount - which ever figure is the greatest. In this case, the amount in the prize pool is more than sufficient to cover the investment costs for a return of $70 million over 25 years. This jackpot was under-estimated. I just wonder why the Tx Lottery didn't increase the advertised amount since we all know that sales are "jackpot driven?"

Interesting Tidbits

This is the 11th draw in this roll. Since 6/54, the last time Lotto Texas was on the
11th draw, the jackpot was $85 million, not $68 $70 million as it is today.

However, during 6/50, on 10-1-98, for the 10th draw, the jackpot
was $70 million. And, on 3-16-94, by the 6th draw, the
jackpot was $77 million.
