Drawing
The first winning ticket will be determined as follows, based on the Texas Pick-3 game from the Texas Lottery, to be held on Monday June 5th at 10:00 AM CT. The official website for the game is:
www.txlottery.org/export/sites/default/Games/Pick_3 where you can watch the drawing live. Note that there are 4 drawing per day and this would be the first one.
The FIRST TWO numbers of the drawing will form the digits of the winning number. If not all tickets are sold and there is no winner, the following drawing the same day will be used and so forth.
The following prizes will be determined in the same way by the following Pick-3 games after the previous prize has been won. There are 4 drawings per day so, if all tickets are sold, the 4 prizes will be given based on the Morning (10:00 AM CDT), Day (12:27 PM), Evening (6:00 PM) and Night (10:12 PM) Pick-3 drawings of June 5th.
For example if 95 tickets are sold (00-94) and the drawings are:
June 5th drawing: Pick-3 (morning): 6-7-6, Pick-3 (day): 4-5-1, Pick 3 (evening): 2-2-1, Pick 3 (night): 9-9-1 and June 6th (morning): 0-0-9, then the winners would be:
1st _ 67
2nd_ 45
3rd_ 22
4th_ 00
Low tickets sales rules:
If not more than 75 tickets are sold by noon, June 4th, the drawing will be postponed one week, until June 12th. At that point the drawing will go ahead, no matter how many tickets were sold.
If 50 or less tickets are sold, only two prizes will be given (the two winners will still be able to chose among the 4 prizes). If 75 or less tickets are sold, only 3 prizes will be given.
Good luck! But as you are supporting the growth of the spintop community, you always win!
