Congratulations to all those who chose to boycott last nights' draw. As a result of our actions(?) sales for last nights' draw were the lowest ($16,789,050) since this poor excuse of a lottery changed format on June 2. It's notable that the 15th of the month is payday for many players yet they chose to keep their money in their pockets. Now, those who played will reflect on their losses and perhaps they'll refrain from playing until the jackpot reaches 10 million. Next draws' sales figures should be of interest....hopefully the trend continues.
Congratulations Boycotters
- Thread starter Karnac
- Start date
But Karnac, sales of May 2004 has been smaller than June 2004. The mean of $sales im May will be smaller than in June and that will be good for the House, so they will go on with $2 per ticket. The bigger jackpot argument creates a dependency in players like cocaine/liamba/morphine. You know you are in the desert but the oasis/water mirage makes you go on up and that's the only pleasure you have.
Worst than that : governments go on allowing Houses making more and more toxico-dependent people

Granted $sales in May were smaller, but now the number of tickets bought has dropped. The $16,789,050 in $sales equals 8,394,525 tickets sold. The May 15 draw sold 12,004,150 tickets for a 2 million prize. In addition the 2 bonus draws contributed heavily to sales. So people are buying less tickets contrary to what the Olgc envisioned. (ie. the extra prize category and bigger jackpots) In any event, time will tell, but I don't see the big jackpots becoming a reality in the numbers they quoted. And remember, the government is the House

For me and for you and for a few, Governments are the House. Many people buy tickets knowing that the "not_for_prizes_money" will go all for social and charity institutions. The most of players don't think about the amount of tax lottery money is about, and that governments have a weekly big budget more. And what matters is "IF I win the jackpot, I'll... I'll ..."
It seems that players are playing a little more than half the tickets they used to play before. However you point the bonus draws as a reason for that. It would be good if you are right, because I want that canadian experience don't grow up. On the contrary.
In the meanwhile, we must tell the Governments that, with this price per ticket, they want to have people in a cocaine mirage removing the funny of this social play. Has this been a political promise before elections?

It is too late to do a boycott now.....
The big rallye was the only way to prevent this...But not enough people were ready to go in the streets to protest...
So stop
on me now...
Crying after the fact will not do any good for anybody...
Boycotting 6/49 and playing other lottos is also just what they expected people would do and this is exactly what is happening..
They are making more money now...All of the lotto commissions through the country are laughing to the bank...
This was their aim to start with...
An enormous market study was made prior to these implementations...For them it was a sure shot in the short term...
And About the comparaison between Super 7 and 6/49 big Jackpots of 25 millions...Remember that Super 7 is only held once a week...So if you want to compare these 2 lotto you have to add the 2 draws...Wednesday and Saturday for 6/49 concerning total sales...

Well I am not going to be helping them too much! I am spending 4.00 on 649 until the jackpot reached 25 Million, then I will spend 2.00 extra..I rather help out my provincial lotto corp.
