649 Anniversary

[Karnac]

Last nights' 649 draw marked to the day, the 22nd anniversary of the game, however I can't recall any mention of this fact last week in their advertising , other than there would be a couple of bonus draws, the second of which was a surprise to many.
Look at these numbers;
April 16 Super 7 ... 25 million jackpot ... Ticket Sales 48.7 million
June 12 649 .........25 million jackpot ... Ticket sales 33.6 million
Thats a drop of almost 15 million dollars...And those full page ads for the new 649 at $10000 a pop isn't helping. I hope they're dirtyin their drawers over this fiasco. I wonder what percentage of the appointments to the Board of the OLGC were made by the LIbEralS . That thought alone makes me gag.

I like to see who and where those survey's were done. I have yet to hear any good about the new price increase, everything is bad. And everyone I talk too say they are buying the same in Money wise but less tickets..

The Olgc took in $33,636,916.00 last night. They paid out $31,319,084. This leaves a profit for the draw of $2,317,832 before advertising ,salaries, and kickbacks to retailers. Looks like the s**t hits the fan Monday morning at the Olgc. Now 's the time to cripple their plan and boycott Wednesday's draw. Send a strong message. Maybe everyone buy 1 QP and save for Saturdays' $10,000,000.

Not difficult to manipulate the masses in Canada. Just say surveys were made. That works all the time in publicity and in politics. Cheat, lie, and steal is their real practice behind closed doors. When Canadians will wake up, all the Tide in the world won't be enough to clean these men.

Remember the Avro Arrow, the most advanced aircraft in the world, 25 years ahead of its time, was all Canadian, but some !@#$%@! in Ottawa and some bullies in the U.S...

Just remember the 1976 Olympics in Montreal. It was supposed to cost something like 172 millions at the start and many voiced their disaproval to that project saying there are more urgent issues to deal with. But mayor Drapeau had his way anyway and in the end 2 billions was the pricetag. They still pay for it.

Same with the gun registry, 5 millions they said at the start, 1 billion turned out to be the real cost.

And I live in this country (sigh). Who are those moronic chimps who make such mistake when they make an estimate? How can they be so much off the mark? So much for university this and university that for education. You know Sheba, with all that cash right there for the taking, I'm not surprized they pay themselves a nice annual jackpot.

Sorry, sometimes I just have enough with the way this country is manned, I'm just about to answer them "par la bouche de mes canons".

This is what the Power site says.

Sales: $33,636,916 Totals 526,883 $57,738,981.80
(93% payout)

Not sure how he gets any of this data it may all be wrong.

Based on what he says looks like 171% payout.

Friggin' nonsense on that site everywhere

I love it!!

More fodder for the net canon!! Thanks Karnac, you're magnificent ... I'm re-posting your stats again (with your permission of course) for more people to see

Couldn't agree more with Babarlish ... the Avro Arrow fiasco sticks in my craw very much ... right on with your other points too

... and what more can we say about PowerBall, eh Beak?

That's how I succeeded on the Oracle guild test.

Have to make this correction before this appears in the media. The OLGC paid out $31,319,211.80. I was out by about 127.00 which is simply lunch money at the OLGC. These figures are from the Sympatico website. The masses are listening.... a Wednesday boycott would really shock and awe the shirts at th OLGC. Sales customarily drop during the summer and summer arrives officially next Monday. I wish I was a fly on the wall in that office tomorrow morning. I really think there is more pressure than we realize. Any OLGC whistle blowers want to contribute to this forum , step up to the plate.

 

[Brad]

Got it ...

I'll make the corrections too.

Ah kin feeeel the BOYCOTT!!

BCLC is next on the list!!

They are simply going to kill this lotto in the long run...

Why would they do that? It has been a big money maker nationwide?
Maybe you have inside information again, but I don't think OLGC can drop the ball (no pun) or they will lose face. (They have already lost face, for sure.) But they can still save their asses if they just let the jackpots fall back to $4 mil., and then increase more gradually when rolled over.

They are hoping we will forget and buy, but not me ...I'm Sticking to my plan.! And the group from work buys less as well, but more Provincials.

Why would you call 6/49 a lame duck already when this is Lotto 649 Web Site Lottery Players Forum, and everybody is still very much actively participating in the 6/49 discussions and picks??? This site has attracted world wide attention from other countries. It may change in form and even name, but go away completely? - I don't think so.

:::::6/49..

Anyway, we discuss all lotteries not just 649 as you know... So this forum will be around for a long time , hopefully anyway...

I think they should have left the 649 as it was... Now I spend less on 649 and allot of others as well. I personally think they made a mistake when increasing the cost to play.

Karnac:

Thats how I see it... ...the jackpot will carry over more often simply due to the lower amount of sets played. I wonder if they wanted it that way, that is what they will get.
