It's not actually zero but 0.000000007 which is close enough.
And 6/49 and lottomax tickets aren't all unique numbers. You can choose your own or have the machine pick a random set for you.

The guy 2 doors down won a million on something or another, he played with 2 other friends so he only got a third of that.
Not only do you pay taxes but it's an annuity, if you want that cash up front it's even less. On the plus side, converting it into loonies will currently embiggin the lot.
I play the Ontario 49, I like the chance to dream on a more regular basis, it's only 1 buck twice a week. Also doubtful the 2 million jackpot would ever get split. It also provides a very nice income stream... not gangster but more than enough for anything I'd reasonably want expect for hours of the hobby every day.
When the Lotto Max goes over 50 I sometimes plank down 5 bucks... sometimes I wait till it hit's 70. Depends on the mood. That sort of money is enough to go all out, no limits.
One thing I don't get is those scratch tickets, double plus so those Nevada aka rip off tickets.
You buy a 49/ 6/49, Lotto max, Lotarrio even and you get a few days to a week to dream. You buy a scratch ticket, find out you lose and the thrill is gone which is why so many of those people buy so many tickets and go back every day for more. Rip offs are even worse, People spending 10, 20 or more bucks a day even when the top prize is only 100. Every freaken day, they win 10 or 20 it goes back in. Those people can't do math. I had to explain to one mouth breather [I know him, I am shocked he can function at all] that if you bought every ticket in the box you will end up behind, not ahead. I finally got through to him after he looked it up and did the math [he worked at a corner store] but I am sure he believes it still.
Now winning one of those big American games that allows you to collect anonymously. That's the dream. Oddly enough unless they changed the rules, if you take the ticket out of the US you can't bring it back in because it's considered an immoral item from some law a while ago. Weird considering the government sells the bloody things. Also I wouldn't trust those power mad asshats at the border with a winning ticked on my person even if signed and everything else.

Technically if you bring over a newspaper with an ad for the lotto, you might as well join Iron Madian because you're breakin the law.
"or any lottery ticket, or any printed paper that may be used as a lottery ticket, or any advertisement of any lottery"
Ape Law gets weird at time.
Oh and
"the entire contents of the package in which such articles are contained, shall be subject to seizure and forfeiture as hereinafter provided:"
I have always wondered about the hospital lotteries like Princess Margaret that offer HUGE prizes like expensive cottages, houses and more. How much $$$ goes to the hospital??
Had 5 of 7 numbers on Lotto Max, won $103.03. Main reason I buy lottery tickets, if I win my grandchildren will be rich.
