Mirage:
There are many others here from Ontario... ...Beaker is one of them... ...there is another I know about who will have to speak for themself, I can't. One of the biggest problems switching to Ontario 49 from 6/49 is learning about the quirks in Ontario 49.
Being familiar with 6/49 could help to play it better as justification to continue. The cost alone however, can also justify the change. A choice need to be made like you have.
George,
you live in Ont? I thought you lived in la Belle Provence?
(.... Ont 6/49 "quirks"??)

...here is my plan... ...6/49
$2, Stoopid
7 QuickPick $2, the rest goes to Ontario 49...

Maggie said:6/49 cuz of the larger prize payout. The ON49 just never appealed to me. One of those things, I guess..
I have my weekly dollar limit that I set for myself and playing Lottario and Super 7 as well pretty much eats it up.

...quirks, sure, I'm sure you could find some things in 6/49 you won't find true with Ontario 49...
This might be matter of points of view. Some might disagree(?)
Anyway, (I've been away from 'puter, but still occasionally running back to post, trying to multi-task, doing house work, attending to family, etc, etc, my own work still wants attention... so scattered, as usual). My comment 2nd tier for Ont 649 - I edited that. It's not too bad. But it's not often won. 3rd tier prize still sucks.
Here's a question you might have an opinion on George. Why do you think OLGC runs both Ont 6/49 and the Lottario? I've been half expecting them to pull the Lottario any time, or, any year now, and it seemed in the beginning when first introduced that Ont 6/49 was a trial to see if they could replace Lottario completely with a provincial 6/49 instead.. But Lottario continued to keep the customers who were more thoughtful and faithful to old Lottario, still buying Lottario tickets, with it's better odds and rollover jackpots? I guess they both make money, but sufficient to keep both running?
What's your guess?
Mirage:
I have never put any thought into why OLGC does things... ...your comments on Lottario could explain why things are the way they are

George

My thought on Lottario is that people like it cuz they get a free line for every one they purchase. Even though the prize payouts are considerably lower than the other lotteries, it has still maintained its popularity. It is kinda disappointing, tho, when you have 4 numbers and all you get is a lousy 22 bucks sometimes.
Hey did'nt I say Mirage was a mirror image of Maggie.Maggie said:Hi Mirage,
My ON49 play is limited to QP's mainly, I pick up a couple of dollars worth each draw and that's about it. The ON49 was the one game that I never really got into, but, I do look forward to reading any discussions you all might have.
Hey, who knows, we may even be in the same neighborhood?
