So the OLG made approximately...

[Cobster]

...over $14 billion last year.
What a scandal...and such crappy first round jackpots.
Now I'm very seriously considering the CEO position. ;-)

The jackpot size does not matter really.
What counts is winning.

If you can't get 2/20 Keno or pick3 box play, what makes you think you can get
6/6 on 649

According to OLGC you would have to spend $27million
to be guaranteed the 649 jackpot but in any event they
say they would not be able to print all you tickets in time
for the draw.

A more realistic goal for you is to aim for CEO/OLGC position.
Even if you get fired you'll walk away with $3/4million
severance pay.

 

[Cobster]

Nobody at OLGC and/or their immediate families can claim a winning ticket right? Meaning, they can't even play can they?

 

[nautilus]

WRONG. An employee won a major pot (over a mil) in the last couple of years. It just takes employees longer than others to collect.

 

[Cobster]

OKAY CALM DOWN, just asking.

I worked for a short time at one of the Racetrack/Slots locations and we used to buy lotto tickets regularly as a group. We just weren't allowed to play the slots in various OLG facilities.

$3/4 million may be enough for Cobster to live on if he does not hobby at all. *Wink, wink* LOL!!! Seriously these OLGC people have no business sense!!! Increase the amount for various prizes and the speed of printing those damn lotto tickets and they will come out a winner. The good doc will also recommend an increase in Cobster's severance pay if he would use his computational talent to help Terbites win the humongous jackpots in the US and Canada. LOL!!!

 

[Cobster]

Count on good ol Scenic to be concerned for Cobster's welfare, in turn being concerned for his own. lol

Have you heard of the greatest happiness principle by the great utilitarian, J.S. Mill, my friend??? LOL!!!

 

[Cobster]

Never, but I'll look it up or you can point me in the right direction friend.

You have not heard of the greatest happiness principle aka principle of utility??? That is, the greatest happiness to the greatest number of people from John Stuart Mill.

Now happiness is within your grasp, where is my jackpot money for the Mega Millions (USD 96 Million) and Powerball (USD 25 Million) for this coming Tuesday and Wednesday??? LOL!!!

 

[bigpackage]

would not matter...

Even if they could print all the tickets for you in time it is still a bad bet.

Lets say the jackpot was $40 Mill...you buy every possiable combination for $27 Mill....well that would be a $13Mill profit...right...only if you are the only winner.

No way to fix the odds in your favor. If you & one other won the jackpot you would loose $7 Mill in this case.
