12-15-18-29-38-41. Eddie Tipton jotted down the numbers on a yellow sticky note as he sat at his desk in Urbandale more than a decade ago.

Texas: 4/1 - 4/30/2026Reply
lol... ...Yeah, maybe for those states that use computers to choose their numbers, but Texas is a ball machine state. No algorithm to compete against.
