6/49 Canadian Lotteries

[hot4]

I'd like to know if these are all the 6/49 canadian lotteries:

National *Lotto 6/49* ($2 per line)
Atlantic 6/49
Quebec 6/49
Ontario 6/49
Lotario
Western 6/49
BC 6/49

and

how many costs a line in each one. I know that BC costs $1 and Atlantic 6/49 costs $0.50, but I'd like to know the others, please.

Thanks

Frank,

Ontario 649 is a 6+Bonus/49 fixed $1,000,000 jackpot. Tickets are $0.50

Lottario is 6+Bonus/45. Jackpot starts at $250,000 and increases until it is won.

Tickets are $1 for 2 plays - one you pick and a QPIk

The only other lotto nation-wide is the Super7 - 7+bonus/47. In Ontario, $2/ticket gives you 3 picks - one you pick yourself and 2 QPiks - which is different than other places in Canada

Thanks Beaker.
So Lottario is not a 6/49 lottery. So there are 6 lotteries 6/49 in Canada.

In Ontario 6/49 with $50 I can play 100 lines while in National Lotto 6/49 I can play 25 lines. If I usually pick 3if6 in 25 lines, I'll get $10 in National 6/49 and #20 (4*$5) in Ontario playing the same money ($50). As 4th prizes gives me $50 in Ontario and $65 in National 6/49, with 4*25 lines I'm very confident that I'll win at least two 4th prizes in Ontario, when my 25 lines wins one 4th prize in National 6/49. So $100 versus $65 favours Ontario two.

I think Atlantic is much like Ontario 6/49. So you have at least 2 lotteries where you can win the double in small prizes than in National Lotto 6/49.

Why to go on looking for the biggest jackpot (in National 6/49) if it blocks the possibility of winning some money in +- every draw with the same budget?

One thing I don't understand Beaker about Ontario. If i want to play 100 lines I must play 5 tickets of ten lines (boards) and 50 QP?

100 tickets is $200 for National6/49 and $50 in Ontario649

I suppose you miscalculated something here. It’s not that common a 3 hit in 25 lines…

No. No miscalculation. That's an example to fit in a small amount of lines. If you admit that you hit 3 in 25 lines (usually) then you can make some deductions about winned prizes, playing 25, 50, 100 lines... and conclude easily that the money you are paying in National Lottery for a ticket is more worth to play in other canadian lotteries.

However, you are a little suspicious about to hit 3 numbers in 25 lines. If you see some posts here you'll see that many players here hit playing a small amount of lines. In the past I post +- 50 lines but after the boom ($2) I reduced to 25 lines. You can check that more than once they got 3 numbers, sometimes not said after draw.

What I said, is essentially an example, but you can go on trying to get a prize with lower amount of lines (than the odds), and I'm sure, you'll get such capability someday

Well, I don’t play Ont49, but since you used it as an example, I must say that probably quite a few math minds battle against that game….. On a web site I found that in the last 5(five, or something like that) draws 0 5+B, and 0 JP winners is the actual reality…

Speaking about a sure 3 hit in 25 lines… I wish I can do it in 50 lines. The actual record for a sure 3 is about 160 lines.

There's no such thing as "difficult lottery" or "easy lottery", unless they are biased by the House. If few people play Ontario, that's the answer. You must check how many tickets are usually sold. Sometimes >14,000,000 tickets are sold and no one wins the 6, in a 6/49 lottery.

You are speaking about guaranteing a 3if6 by means of a wheel; I was speaking about forecasting method/strategy. In this last issue, there's no guarantees for future draws, only your bet mind.

As you have seen, there is no existing a valid scientific or math method to shrink 100 lines containing a 6 hit in one of the lines to 25 lines that contain a sure 3 hit in one of the lines. There are tons of different in my opinion chaotic theories, but not a simple algorithm that will prove them.

Therefore, in my view is much less possible that any forecasting may produce any nearly sure 3 hits in 25 lines, because there is no any secure even unscientific scheme existing. Choosing some of those skips, trios, announcers, etc.., is in my opinion greatly connected to a good fortune.

However, that is my personal view, and I am glad that you acknowledged a forecasting technique that works well for you.

The bald statistical odds for 3 out of 6 in a 6/49 is 1 in 57. Therefore, On 6/49 vs Can 6/49 makes sense $$ wise.

Where did you get the "sure 3 is about 160 lines" from? Your own experience? Luck can change, if you let it.

Other people on this board have had personal "luckier" experiences with the lottery - they are using this board to share their "luck".

Well, the 163-line closed cover wheel is the current unofficial record for the guarantied 3 out of 6 in 49. The most of the unofficial records for both closed and open covers are listed at the Peters wheel page.

BTW, nobody can share luck. Luck is an individual subject. So, maybe it’s better to say that people are here to share experiences…?

Sorry, I am not very familiar with wheels and don't use them alot myself. So that's why I had no idea you were referring to a wheel.

Personally I try to identify trends and numbers that look like a trend, plus some pattens, designated numbers, then play those with some random numbers in a filter style approach. A lot of it is guess work. Some people have a knack. Others can learn through practice.

I guess you are right about luck being individual. However, other people can offer help, knowledge, encouragement, and share their experiences.
