Texas Lottery ® retailers, here’s a gift that extends the holiday spirit—a Texas Lottery on-line game purchase with the Multi-Draw feature. Encourage your customers to give their “special someone” a Mega Millions ®, Lotto Texas ®, Cash Five ®, Texas Two Step ® or Pick 3 ™ on-line ticket with the Multi-Draw option to continue the fun well into the new year! Remind them that they just need to mark the Multi-Draw box on their play slip to participate in up to 10 Lotto Texas, Mega Millions or Texas Two Step drawings, or 12 Cash Five or Pick 3 drawings. [471802] Following are the highlights of each on-line game:

Mega Millions with Megaplier ® - This multistate jackpot game rolls to “mega” amounts and, with the Megaplier feature, can multiply non-jackpot prize winnings by two, three or four times! If you choose to Megaply ™, you have a chance to win $1 million without even hitting the jackpot! Jackpots start at $12 million! Drawings are on Tuesdays and Fridays.

Lotto Texas - This jackpot game offers multi-million-dollar jackpots starting at $4 million, and it continues to roll up until there’s a winner! Just pick six numbers from 54. Drawings are on Wednesdays and Saturdays.

Texas Two Step - This jackpot game starts at $200,000 and increases until there is a winner. You automatically win $5 for matching just the bonus ball. Drawings are on Mondays and Thursdays.

Cash Five - Win exciting cash prizes just by matching two, three, four or five numbers from a field of 37. All prizes are paid in one lump-sum payment, even the top prize. Receive $2 just for matching two out of five numbers. Drawings are Monday through Saturday. Special game feature: If no one correctly matches all five numbers to win the top (five-of-five) prize, [427501] the money set aside to pay the top prize will roll down to the four-of-five prize. The four-of-five prize will increase accordingly.

Pick 3 - This on-line game is a daily numbers game. Drawings take place Monday through Saturday with two drawings per day. The drawings are held at 12:27 p.m. and at 10:12 p.m. CST. To play Pick 3, you just need a little pocket change! Pick 3 is the only game that offers a 50-cent play. For as little as 50 cents, you could win $40, and for only $1, you could win a $500 prize! *

So, remind your Texas Lottery customers to extend their family and friends’ holiday gifts with Multi-Draw and they will thank you! It’s a fun, “holiday” way to play on-line games from the Texas Lottery.

*If you play any Order with three different numbers for 50 cents, you could

win $40. If you play Exact Order for $1, you could win $500.

TOP-SELLING

RETAILERS GOBBLE UP

PAC-MAN™ ARCADE TABLES!

From May 28 through June 24, the Texas Lottery ® conducted a contest

in which the 10 top-selling retailers of the Pac-Man ™ Scratch-Off game

would receive a Ms. Pac-Man ®/Galaga ®/Pac-Man ® Cocktail Table Arcade

Game. Well, those 10 hard-working retailers are now the proud owners of

gleaming arcade tables!

MR. T’S MARKET, located in downtown MIDLAND, sold the most Pac-Man tickets in the contest. Mr. T’s is owned and operated by Kheang, Chou, Terry and Tiffany Taing. When the Taing family purchased the store about six years ago, it was not a Texas Lottery retailer; but as of September 2006, it is ranked ninth in the state in total Texas Lottery ticket sales.

Pictured at the table are Terry Taing,

owner of Mr. T’s Market, and

Roger Cramer (LSR).

P&J FOOD STORE in BEAUMONT placed second in Pac-Man ticket sales during the contest. When the contest began, co-owner Nga Nguyen was very excited about the possibility of winning a cocktail table arcade game and said, “The Texas Lottery should just go ahead and de-liver it to me now because I am going to win this contest.” She apparently meant what she said!

Karim Gokal, owner of KWIK STOP in FORT WORTH, was very excited when he heard about the Pac-Man retailer contest, [101664] since Pac-Man had been one of his favorite arcade games since childhood. Karim and his clerks filled four dispensers with the Pac-Man Scratch-Offs and worked hard at selling the tickets. Karim was thrilled to learn that after all their hard work, he had actually won.

Manager Gloria Castro and the staff of RAM STORES #18 in CHINA GROVE really pushed hard when they heard they could possibly win a Pac-Man arcade game table. [135109] The Ram Stores #18 staff has built an excellent relationship with their faith-ful lottery players, and they ended the Pac-Man retailer contest in fifth place, selling a total of 18 packs of tickets.

Sadiq Surani, owner/manager of TONIE’S BEER & GROCERY in EULESS, keeps all new Scratch-Off games highly visible and always encour-ages players to buy them. [129135] This strategy has paid off, since Sadiq’s four children now have a Pac-Man arcade game table to play at home—some-thing they tell Sadiq they would rather do than their homework.

CHUCK’S GROCERY in ARLINGTON finished the Pac-Man retailer contest in a three-way tie for third-best-selling Pac-Man retailer in the state. The game generated a buzz before it hit the stores, so owner Parso-tam Patel and his family wanted to be ready. They prepared four slots so they could maximize sales while the game was brand-new and in great demand.

Zach Fattani owns WYLIE NORTHSIDE GROCERY INC. in WYLIE. Zach and his father, Jack, wanted not only to win an arcade game, but also to become the top-selling lottery retailer in Wylie. Zach posted Pac-Man as the “game of the week” and gave his clerks worthwhile incentives to sell tickets—for every 100 tickets sold on their shift, they received a $5 phone card, and for every two packs sold they got a free tank of gas.

STATELINE CITGO has the proud distinction of being the number one retailer in the state for instant ticket sales. Owners Sang and En Jung Kim credit their success to well-trained and friendly personnel at their two stores. Their TEXARKANA store, which won a Pac-Man arcade game table, is located on I-30 at the Texas/Arkansas state line and is the first Texas Lottery outlet for travelers entering Texas.

“My kids call it ‘old school,’ but I’m as happy as I can be with the Pac-Man game machine that we won during the TLC promotion,” says Juan Flores, owner of UNITED DRIVE INN, located in MISSION. “We work very hard to sell Scratch-Off games, and it is an added bonus when the Texas Lottery decides to attach contests with great prizes to them. We wish every game came with a contest!”

JASPER CONOCO is the number one instant-ticket-selling retailer in JASPER, thanks largely to store manager Lee Sunani. When the Pac-Man retailer contest was an-nounced, Lee was determined to win one of the arcade game tables. Lee kept four packs activated at all times and asked every customer if they wanted a ticket. In addition, the store posted winning tickets to emphasize winners and to promote sales.

CONGRATULATIONS

TO ALL THE

WINNING

RETAILERS!

Fast Stop #17 (Kendrick Oil Company), LevellandBy Wayne Bufkin, LSR

The 2006 Hockley County Early Settlers Day was held on July 8, and Fast Stop #17 was the Texas Lottery selling retailer. Located at 903 College in Levelland, Fast Stop #17 is one of the top Texas Lottery retailers in the Lubbock area and averages over $10,000 a week in lottery sales. Nancy McColloch and Cynthia Stansel brought their sales knowledge to downtown Levelland for this special event and sold $2,366 worth of Texas Lottery products in five hours! The afternoon started with a parade that lasted over an hour, [133075] and the local musicians and food vendors went to work around noon. Kendrick Oil, the parent company of Fast Stop stores, is growing, with 16 retailers in our district and some of the top-selling stores in the communities surrounding Lubbock. We thank you for your support of the Texas Lottery and look forward to more special events in the future.

LubbockSpotlight

Lubbock is the hub of the Great South Plains and the home office of District 6 of

the Texas Lottery®. Our team of four lottery sales representatives (LSRs) covers 43 counties over 44,000 square miles—from north of Amarillo to the southern tip of Gaines and Dawson counties—and calls on 537 retailers every two weeks. [129135] With an experienced sales force, District Sales Manager Bob Burton and Swing Representative Randy Hudman have been with GTECH for 13 years. Glynda Markham, LSR, has seven years’ experience, and Wayne Bufkin of Lubbock is in his sixth year. The newest LSRs, Deidra McFadden and Tisha Dominguez, joined the team in September. Our focus in the coming year is to increase our retailer base in the district. Corporate accounts make up 78 percent of our retailer base, and John Armour, the key account representative based in Lubbock, is working hard to increase slot counts in these strategic accounts.

J-N-B Quicki Shop #2, AmarilloBy Glynda Markham, LSR

On August 19, J-N-B Quicki Shop #2 joined the Texas Lottery at the Polk Street Block Party in Amarillo. This was our fourth year to attend the Block Party, and it is always our biggest event in the Lubbock district. [211752] Downtown revitalization was the main focus of the party. Five blocks of downtown Polk Street were fenced off, and the area came alive with food vendors, local crafts and great bands. The Texas Lottery trailer was a special attraction, and as always, the sales were high. J-N-B Quicki Shop #2 sold a total of $4,372 in lottery products and cashed $1,725 in winning tickets. The attendance was estimated at over 10,000, which kept both Lone Star Spinning Wheels busy the entire time! The threat of rain did not deter the crowd from this fabulous event, and the Texas Lottery umbrellas were a big hit with the customers. We thank the Center City Association of Amarillo and J-N-B Quicki Shop #2 for all their hard work.

Bobby Heith presented Area Manager Ryan Settles with a bonus check for $360,000. Wayne Bufkin, the lottery sales rep for this account, and Bob Burton, district sales manager, held a customer appreciation party during the check presentation. [210549] Although road construction on 98th Street reduced the store parking lot to one entrance, the customer appreciation day was a big success. Total Texas Lottery sales exceeded $800, and 7-Eleven #243 gave away $400 in gasoline to lottery customers.

7-Eleven #243, LubbockBy Wayne Bufkin, LSR

7-Eleven #243 of Southwest Convenience Stores is big on the Texas Lottery! Most of the Southwest Convenience Stores carry approximately 24 Scratch-Off games and concentrate their sales efforts on the on-line games. On April 26, 7-Eleven #243, located at 98th Street and Indiana in Lubbock, sold a Lotto Texas® jackpot ticket worth $36 million. A group of women who have played the Texas Lottery together for years pooled their money and purchased the jackpot ticket. On July 21, Texas Lottery Commission spokesperson

Increase Sales with Pick 3™!

Have you ever wondered how to play Pick 3? Teaching your custom-

ers to play can build a loyal base of enthusiastic players in your store.

You simply pick three numbers between 0 and 9 and decide whether

you want to play them in Exact Order or Any Order. If you mark

1-2-3 on your playslip and choose Exact Order, then the numbers

must be drawn exactly in this order: 1-2-3. If you mark 1-2-3 on

your playslip and choose Any Order, you can win if the numbers

1-2-3 are drawn in any combination. The Combo play is simply a

convenient way to play all possible Exact Order combinations of

your numbers on one ticket. Ask your LSR if you have any questions

about how to play the Pick 3 game.

Our district, which has only 537 retailers, enjoys just under $1 mil-

lion in Pick 3 sales every quarter. Teaching players Pick 3 can increase

sales in any retail account. ~Randy Hudman, Swing Representative

Ben’s Ice and Food Store, San AntonioBy Andrew Gomez, LSR

Who better to sell a Texas Two Step record-setting jackpot ticket than Ben’s Ice and Food Store on Pleasanton Road in San Antonio? Ben’s Ice and Food Store, a [202728] neighborhood landmark, sold one of three jackpot tickets for the Texas Two Step drawing held on April 27, 2006—a jackpot worth an estimated $2.9 million!

Suncoast Food Mart, San AntonioBy Bill Mayfield, LSR

Suncoast Food Mart is located in the heart of old San Antonio. Shahzad Ahmed has managed the store since it was purchased from EZ Mart back in January 2006. “Shaz” always makes sure he has current and popular games and makes it a point to rotate his inventory frequently. He’s a genuine asset to the Texas Lottery and its players.

Hillside Grocery, LaredoBy Juan Diaz, LSR

At Hillside Grocery in Laredo, customers come from all parts of town just to buy Texas Lottery tickets. This store has been selling lottery tickets since sales began in 1992. Current owner Steven Ybarra took over the store from his uncle in June 2005. “Big Winner” tickets can be traced as far back as October 1999, when this store sold a top-prizewinning Cash 5® ticket. Steven is convinced that winner awareness is the key to their success, as well as planning ahead to make sure that slots are available for upcoming new games. [135682] Hillside Grocery is now averaging over $9,500 per week in total lottery sales!

Zee’s Mart, HondoBy Patricia Sheedy, LSR

“Thirty-four vouchers at one store?” That’s what lottery sales representative [229524] Pat Sheedy exclaimed when she stopped at Zee’s Mart in Hondo on her regular sales visit in August 2006. Since Ferdaus Manesia and Thakor Patel took over management of the store in January 2006, Texas Lottery sales have been climbing steadily, with on-line ticket sales averaging over $5,400 per week and instant ticket sales averaging over

Mini Mart #66, KerrvilleBy Levi Darr, LSR

Located in the heart of Kerrville, Mini Mart #66 could very well be considered the Texas Lottery “heart” of Kerrville. Whether [480006] selling on-line games or instant tickets, Manager Terry Wilson and her crew can always be found plus-selling and exchanging friendly banter with their loyal lottery players. Mini Mart #66 has consistently remained among the top ten retailers in overall lottery sales in the San Antonio district. Outstanding job!

Regalado Exxon LC, LaredoBy Jane Penalver, District Trainer

Located right off of IH-35 as you head toward the Mexico border, Regalado Exxon LC of Laredo is a popular spot for players to buy their Texas Lottery on-line tickets. Owner Miguel Regalado and his staff are quick to ask for the sale, and to ask their Mega Millions® players if they want to Megaply™.

Fas Stop, San AntonioBy Jackie Hill, LSR

Fas Stop store manager Aburzar H. Dhukka has a sure-fire formula for keeping his players coming back and for driving up his instant ticket sales: He keeps his instant game slots full with the right mix of tickets, pays all winners up to $599, and offers excellent customer service!

Circle K #7041, Laredo

By Jose Mendez, LSR

It seems that Maria Maldonado’s enthusiasm for winner awareness has created a domino effect for the chain of Circle K stores in Laredo. She allowed her lottery sales repre- sentative to increase her instant game slots and is now reaping the rewards through increased

sales and repeat customers. Way to go, Maria!

SV EZ One Stop, KirbyBy Charles Holdridge, LSR

Sulaiman Virani, owner of SV EZ One Stop in Kirby, is a model Texas Lottery retailer. He knows that becoming a high-volume lottery retailer is no accident—it requires diligent inventory [211349] management, excellent customer service and a positive attitude.

Mr. Virani takes the time to front-face all his tickets as well as to call the instant ticket specialist if he needs popular games. He also allows his LSR to pick up games that are no longer store favorites. It’s always a pleasure working with Mr. Virani, and he is much appreciated for his hard work.

Haifa’s Mini Market, San AntonioBy Jennefer Cooper, LSR

The Haifa family has owned and operated Haifa’s Mini Market since 1995. Arafat, Haroun and Azar Haifa, along with their friend Nashat Abdallah, are the principle operators of the business. They attribute their success to their consistent emphasis on customer service, including a willingness to

Diamond Food Mart #2, San AntonioBy Andrew Cox, LSR

Manager Rahim Badarpura has been serving his customers for over four years at Diamond Food Mart #2. Although his store doesn’t sell gasoline, Rahim and head cashier Hector Ramirez have been able to maintain a large customer base because of their excellent customer service. Rahim has always offered a good selection of Scratch-Off tickets and recently added six on-counter slots to his mix. By placing high-dollar games in these slots, he has increased the visibility of these games. In doing so, he has increased his instant ticket sales average from $5,992 to $7,740 per week—an increase of $1,748 per week! Wow! [145769] Rahim worked carefully with his sales rep to determine that his existing sales would benefit from the added slots. It looks like this decision hit the jackpot!

Circle 786 Food & Gas, ConverseBy Andrew Cox, LSR

Noorallah Punjani, owner of Circle 786 Food & Gas, has been [236858] providing Texas Lottery tickets and other necessities to the Converse area for 12 years. During a recent trip to Georgia, Punjani got the idea of mounting his Scratch-Off slots from the ceiling so that customers waiting in line could see them clearly and to free up counter space for other merchandise. Punjani’s night clerk designed, built and installed the elevated slot stand during the last week of July. Scratch-Off sales increased by $2,000 per week within the first three weeks of installation and now average over $9,000 per week! Punjani now plans to install similar stands in his other five locations.

The 2006 Texas State Fair welcomed the return of the Texas Lottery, along with its enthusiastic entourage of players and supporters. During this year’s State Fair, which ran from September 29 to October 22, Texas Lottery players showed their excitement by purchasing over $449,000 of their favorite Scratch-Off and on-line games. In addition, over $222,000 was paid out in winnings to players at the Fair!

For the fifth consecutive year, Dallas convenience store Swif-T owners and staff worked hard by selling Texas Lot-tery tickets to eager fairgoers. Throughout each day, Swif-T owners Sam, Ali, and Kishwer Lakhani, along with their winning team of sales agents, enthusiastically promoted the Games of Texas.

The Texas Lottery Fun Center also featured the “Paul Adams Cash Explosion Game Show” at 2 p.m., 4 p.m., 6 p.m. and 8 p.m. each day. The zany fun of the game show featured lots of opportunities to win prizes and lottery tickets through a variety of audience participation games. In addition, Texas Lottery staff conducted special promo-tions prior to each game show. Fairgoers participated in the “Texas Plinko,” “Game of the Day” and “Drum Trivia.” These new promotions were successful in increasing on-line sales and educating players about all Texas Lottery games.

Thousands of fairgoers tried their luck at the Games of Texas. Even greater than the selection of games was the collection of on-site winners who cashed in their lucky tickets at the Lottery Fun Center. Thanks to all of the tal-ented staff who worked hard to make sure that the winners walked away happy and that all of the Texas Lottery Fun Center visitors had a great experience!
