Odds of 4/6 are only approx 1.1033
You actually did ok as some weeks 4/6 is as low as $62.00
Last night it was $70.50.
I just collected my "winnings" from last night 2 combinations 4/6
$141.00.

I agree that they should increase the payout of the lower prizes but I think they found
out that what sells the tickets is the promise of a very big first prize.

Fred, how would affect the big prizes if they spread the wealth more evenly,
say by giving the 4/6 1G and the 5/6 50Gs ?

They would sell more tickets and I don't think
it would affect their bottom line since people tend to
"reinvest" their winnings by buying more lottery tickets. Bottom line
is management of OLG are not very creative.
OLG makes too much money as it is ---millions of dollars from selling worthless pieces of paper every day - no incentive
to improve operations.

Your ONT49 prizes are out of date

Ever since they raised the price to $2 i play Ontario49 instead.

5/6 = always $50
5B/6 = always $50,000
5/6 = always $1 Million

4 plays for every 1 play of Canada 649 for a chance at $ Million - I'll take it )
