For those that play regularly, which Ontario scratch games do you find gives out more small prizes more often. (which one is the better bet in at least getting your $4.00 or $5.00 back in small prizes. I'm interested especially in the Ontario Instant Millions, or Cash for Life games. Thanks.

Okay here's an inside tip.

Play the Pick Three game

Play $2.00 a day. One dollar on box play and the other on straight play. Play faithfully every day or don't bother. This will come to $14 per week. But you will be playing every day this way. You get two chances per day this way. Buy your ticket on the same day each week and buy the whole weeks worth at once. You can do that with quick picks or you fill in the slip.

That is the game with the best rate of payback.

Follow the rules above to the letter and you will win more consistently than any other lottery waste of money.
This has been proven but rarely revealed

Before the recent big lottery scandal up here there was supposed to be a way to tell winning scratch tickets from losers. Had something to do with a clue printed on the ticket......like a flaw printed on it somewhere. I remember way back in the day that harvey's had a scratch game where you had to scratch one of 9 squares (like a tic tac toe layout) and the clue to where the winning square was was printed right on the ticket though you had to know where to look to see it. They nixed that game immediately once the location of the clue got let out...I won a lot of free burgers that time.

This also reminds me of those "molson canadian" nights etc at bars. When the rep handed the scratch and win tickets to the manager he had 1 bundle of losers and 1 bundle of winners. The bar manager was supposed to mix em up but he gave only the winning tickets to people he knew...Won a lot of gear one summer that way *eg*.

Every scratch ticket has a letter on it if you win
A triangle if you loose
The grand prize has the triangle upside down


Most I ever won was 50 bucks on a bingo ....when they first came out
I agree the pick 3 is ok I won 6 times a few years ago in one year .4 of those times were from numbers I picked the nite before for the first time .Other 2 were my regular numbers .My friend played all year the same numbers and is in the whole.

I don't play the scratch games, but the owner of the corner store by me, told me somebody won on Bingo $50,000.00 last week.

Wrong. The best odds are Keno 4 numbers.
Odds: 1/189
compare with pick3: 1/1000
In October alone I won this 8 times.
8 x100 = $800.00

$2 a day on Pick3 is not likely to do the job. You could do that for 12 months (or more) and never win anything ($14x 52 =$728.00 per annum).

Remember.To win straight play you need to do 3 permutations for every 3 digits you pick

eg:
Straight : 923 :$1
Straight : 293 : $1
Straight : 392: $1

Box play :932 :$1
Don't play pick3 unless you have a good feeling about the number that's coming.
It's harder to get the correct combination than appears on the surface.
( Quick Picks for pick 3 a few minutes before closing time usually have one or two of the digits that are coming that night or use sites such as www.pick3stats.com to generate combinations.)

Forgot to mention that Quick picks are the way to go.
Sorry about that
Wrong again. (For the record I won pick 3 twice this year ).
For pick3 and pick4 the Quick pick provides good clues but the quick pick is unlikey to provide
you with the correct combination. You are supposed to manipulate the Quick Pick numbers:

eg Quick pick value
914

9-1= 8
1+4 =5
4-1=3

Possible pick3 values from above:
358
391
859
951
418


etc...etc
ps: also do quick pick combinations with previous night's winning number

Fred,
Do you wager $1, $2, $5, or $10 on Keno 4 ?
The amount I wager depends on my level confidence.
eg back in May I was confident about 531 coming on Pick3
I wagered $5 on 531, and $1.00 on the rest of my picks.
Guess what, 531 came that night !
But for Keno I recommend a $1 wager unless you are playing numbers that
are nearly 3 weeks overdue.
Usually I wager $1.
You have to spent some time researching & manipulating the numbers to win anything higher than
$5 or $10.
That goes for ANY lottery except scratch.

Quick picks are not likely to do the job BUT they might provide you
with correct pairs of numbers.
So, what you do is you buy 10 numbers ( Quick Pick)
and create sets/ 4 number combos from those.
But I can't stress this enough. Don't rely on quick picks
alone to win the lottery for you. That's setting yourself up
for a big dissappointment.

lol...It's only a matter of time...doc. pick3 and Keno priovide an inexpensive way to test different theories.
I dowloaded Saliu's software last week. I must say some of the stuff his software does is impressive:
http://www.saliu.com/LottoWin.htm
Yes, interesting ideas from Saliu and free software too!!! Hope your research is as methodological as can be. There are stories that people can manipulate mathematical theories/models to bag those big jackpots. For example, http://www.news.com.au/story/0,23599,20642299-13762,00.html

The good doc will have to converse further with wise men such as Pythagoras and Lao Tzu who thought that the secret of the universe can be reduced to simple numerical relationships of 0, 1, 2, 3, 4. Grasping those may just help to hit the biggies. ;) We shall see. LOL!!!

Good for them. I see that they were playing the full combo..lol.
The full seletion wheel is one of my favourites
and generally less risky as no matter what, you will have at least
1/6.... usually more. ..eg see the output below (48/49)
only 12 is missing:


1-6-13-14-16-49
7-8-18-20-23-41
4-5-10-27-31-32
21-22-25-28-29-37
9-17-38-40-45-46
33-34-35-36-43-47
3-11-15-30-39-42
2-19-24-26-44-48

Having a syndicate to pull the gaming money together is also a contributing factor to success. The more buying power, the bigger difference it can make. ;) So when will our syndicate come into being, Freddie??? LOL!!!

More likely then not you are spending more money then you will win.
It is a matter of public record that OLG pays out approximately 40% of their gross earnings in the form of prizes. Clearly, the overall average performance of the lotto-playing public will be to win 40 cents for every dollar spent. This is basic arithmetic that every eighth grade student (should) understand.

Obviously, individual players who get lucky wil outperform this average and some may even land in the black. However, those who make money at these games will be in the overwhelming minority.

The only way to guarantee success is if you have some insider knowledge that is not available to the general public. It was reported some weeks ago, for example, that someone had been able to detect winning scratch tickets without scratching them. While technically not cheating, this is an example of increasing your odds by stepping outside of the rules of the game. If you play by the intended rules, you are subject to the same probabilities as all of the other players.

While it can be fun to play these games and imagine that one has a special strategy that will "beat the odds" this is really just a form of self-deception which may add to your fun but will not add to your winnings.
