DarkAngel is on the money.
Torontonians have high disposable incomes and a high propensity for gambling so most of the losing scratch tickets can be placed in the GTA thus maximizing the OLG's gain easily.
The OLG taking it upon themselves to be allocators and redistributors of Income, can place the winning tickets in the poorer outskirts outside Toronto, even though there is the likelihood of less total revenues from sales in those areas.
As far as the non scratch tickets go, the player determines his luck especially if he picks his numbers and in the pro line games off course.
Games like the wheel of fortune game can easily be "fixed".
Note initially how many winners of the top prizes there were when the game started, but now hardly anyone winning over $1000.
I often see people flocking to play at terminals that have posted multiple winners. In Westwood Mall in Malton for example.
There is nothing to say if the winners chose their own numbers or got quick picks there though.
An article I read did say that approximately 75% of jackpot winners were those who chose their own numbers with the remaining 25% being quickpicks.
At one time Quebec almost always seemed to grab a piece of the big jackcpots for Super 7 and Lotto 649.
Lately Ontario has been doing well with places like Hamilton doing well.
Many female players seem to be big winners lately as well.
I've never seen the big jackpots drawn on television for the whole nation to see as is customary in other countries.
Maybe it happens but I just missed it.
The fact that the OLG can choose a winner from the pool of numbers played for the guaranteed Million for every draw gives us something to think about in what other possibilities exists.
Especially if draws are not shown publicly or witnessed by independent auditing companies.
