OLG becoming a scam again

You honestly need to be retarded to buy those tickets. Just a tax on the stupid and desperate.
I buy it once in a while when I see it when I fill up the gas. I don't mind playing - if I hit it....great - if I don't no biggie. 
Again?? Its always been a scam. Most of the time they dont even have to declare a winner.
I know it’s almost impossible to win. I buy it because the chances are astronomically small but never 0. I buy in my budget and enjoy the rush. It’s not a guaranteed win in fact it’s the opposite. But I like my country I like my potholes fixed etc etc I don’t mind the extra tax.
Everyone knows what a lottery is.
As long as OLG is providing the proper odds and payouts it is not a scam.
You have the information and you do what you want with it with your money.
So if OLG for example is making a claim that 50% of all proceeds go back into payouts and that in fact is true then it's not a scam.
You know what you're getting into.
What the OP is presenting in the video is that OLG is providing false information.
Claiming the odds of winning has improved when it hasn't.
In effect false advertising. That is where the scam is and no one in OLG is answering to it.
As far as I'm concerned lottery is a good thing.
Anyone who wants to pay a voluntary tax is fine by me.

OLG has always been a scam. Most of the time they don't even pick a winner. They just do that occasionally so everyone thinks there's still a chance.
There's not always a winner. You would need to buy all the combinations to guarantee the jackpot will be hit.
The fact that there's not always a winner is not proof that it's a scam.

That is true, but your point does not prove it is not a scam. The odds that you can win are microscopic. Also, the government, which is supposed to serve Canadians and promote their welfare, heavily promotes the lottery in low-income jurisdictions, which are composed of poor people who bet heavily and who can least afford to buy tickets. It is basically a tax on the poor.
Anything could be a scam but justifying a scam with something that is clearly fasle is just ludicrous.
Everything I stated in that post is true, and you are very naïve if you think it isn't.
Taxes aren't voluntary.
On top of that most people have zero chance of making millions of dollars in their lives. Buying a 6/49 ticket, even at the 1 in roughly 14 million chance you have of winning, is a better shot than most people have of ever making 20+ million dollars in their lives.
Co worker won 12 million about a year ago. He bought quick picks when he bought gas and he hit. If your lucky your lucky.
Exactly. For me, it's worth the $5 I spend each week to have a three-day fantasy of what I will do with the winnings, lol
