Odds aren't good but it's fun to play. Is this a limited time lotto or permanent?
I believe it is a permanent game.

I read somewhere that sales for the Lotto Max and 6/49 are falling off so maybe this is there way to generate new revenue by introducing this game.

Huh? They have been steady for 6/49 for at least 5 years.

I wonder if OLG is OK with Poker Lotto's sales. I play that game like everyday.

Just Googled it to find out if it is a national game, and saw that players in the west get to add an extra number for $1.

At odds of 13.3 million to one it's just shy of the odds for 649.

The 5 numbers was great odds but then the 6th number acts as a "powerball" skyrocketing the odds.

I'll try it at least once but not make habit of it though.

A more interesting game would have been if a guaranteed winner must be chosen from all the combinations played for that draw.

You're not gonna see that anytime soon.

Scratch tickets are guaranteed but bummer is OLG sells the higher prized games all over Canada.

In the Ontario only lotteries, winning tickets seem to be sold outside of the Toronto city limits while most of the take is from sales within Toronto.

If it's completely random, what can OLG do about where the winners come from within Ontario?Nothing...unless you are suggesting a "fix"?

Although I still believe the most amount of money and losing tickets are sold in Toronto for scratch. It's just my imagination. Maybe OLG just picks winners from outside Toronto to showcase on their website to encourage people in these parts.
Scratch tickets have guaranteed winners and each tick can be tracked from leaving OLG to wherever they end up.
If OLG wanted to take it upon themselves to be income redistributors,directly placing winner sin smaller towns with less sales than say Toronto...
it could very well be done.
Though we don't see it, I'm sure there are auditors and controls every step of the way for each game though.
I still don't like sharing OLG scratch ticket offerings all over Canada especially when you see more winners everywhereelse except Ontario.
we here in Ontario don't get to share in BC and Quebec specific scratch offerings.
It's like many of the big prizes in 649 and lottomax seem to be won in Quebec.
Just random chance I suppose.

Buy 6/49 then, they have an additional draw for a guaranteed winner of $1 mill.

One downside with the new Daily Grand lotto is there can be multiple winners that share the top prize. So instead of getting $1000 you might only get $500, I know the universe can be so harsh sometimes.

Side note: the $1000/day for life, is actually for your life and not based on some average lifespan. You can also opt to take a lump sum payment of $7 mill instead.

I got 4/5 on the Daily Grand last night. Played my own numbers. This pays $500.00. Not bad.

I played it last Monday for the first time.

Did not get one number.

It's much harder to win than it seems.

Definitely winnable but no winners so far.

A couple winners for $25K per year though and lots of encore winners.

I will not play this very often or not at all as the jackpot does not increase compared to 649 but similar odds.

649 if you don't play often, at least you can justify or are motivated to play by a climbing or high jackpot.

I won a $1,000 on Last draw. You can win. I probably got lucky but still it was my second time playing.

Great to hear. Congrats. For sure there will be a lot more winner of the smaller prizes and at least it's an opportunity to tack on encore where there are lots of winners also.
To me though it's a more expensive(same price of 649 which as a bigger jackpot plus the guaranteed million) Ontario 49 with almost same odds and a bigger prize payout.
But jackpot remains fixed and can be shared like Ontario 49. This however may be played nationwide instead of just Ontario so more chance of a split winner or winners outside of Ontario.

You make good points. So far just one 25K for life winner and no 1k a day winners. I think this lotto will be a bust.

Someone has finally won the $1000 per day.

OLG site does not tell you where from as they try not to give out too much info it seems.

The BC lottery site however says it's from Western Canada(Alberta,Manitoba and Saskatchewan).

They are from the Prairies. It was pretty fast though and sales for this are low(around 2,5 million per draw compared to 16 million for 6/49) so you can win. They don't sell much tickets and someone still won.
