Blah, blah,blah....

No sense even reading it (but I did) because the parasitic Dream Merchants @ OLG just keeps bleeding us suckers to the point of pain.

And they are releasing this now to soften the complaints when the changes hit.

The big change to Lotto 649 a few years ago was a HUGE profit grab by the OLG.

But... I'll still buy my budget of $500.00 a year on 6/49, Lotto-Max and Ontario 49.

My logic is that I can afford to THROW AWAY $500 a year and it won't make a difference in my life. But winning a jackpot WILL have a huge difference.

I also know that mathematically ONE ticket of each draw essentially has the same odds of winning as buying 50 tickets so any more than one ticket per draw is a waste of money.

I might also, finally, just subscribe for the year in advance rather than doing it at the gas station and giving the oil company extra profit. Plus, if I win, there is no dispute or having to prove that it was MY ticket. Not that I found it on the floor or stole it from someone.

I'll pick some numbers that are important to me and 'let it ride'.


I wonder though.... even though it is supposed to be purely random... has anyone ever heard of a lottery subscriber ever winning a jackpot?

Same here, all you need is one ticket to win. If its yours, its yours...I never understood these folks buying loads of tickets every draw, chances of winning are the same lol.
