Facts and assumptions?
First, Moses, I have to give you this: your method for demonstrating the weight of balls is awesome: "You suggested that I assume the balls are heavy, no I don't assume the balls are heavy, I know they are heavy and I usually use my logic and common sense to work some facts before I speak!" (your quote). But I have to agree with you: here on this earth, everything (at least as far as I know) has a weight if made out of something but everything is relative, how heavy should a ball be in order to have a tendency to fall downward in a rotating sphere with baffles?
Now let's analyze your possibility of an high number of winners and let's see what happen if we look at it logically (if not scientifically).
1 – Let's start with a statement form the BCLC site: "After each draw, ILC allocates for the payment of prizes 47% of all amounts wagered for that draw (the "Prize Fund") and a Pools Fund is determined by deducting from the Prize Fund an amount equal to the total amount payable as prizes on the 3/6 Winning Selections and 2/6+ Winning Selections"
2 – On sales of $100,000,000 (you statement), there will $53,000,000 taken by the lottery organization for their profit and administrative costs and leaving $47,000,000 ("the Prize Fund") to be given back to players (wow the mathematic is fairly simple so far).
3 – As you invoked the possibility, since 6 millions tickets held 3 winning numbers but with no mention of those with 2 winning numbers with the bonus number (which wins $5 here in Canada), I will go along assuming there were no 2+ winners (unlikely but why not go along with your far out assumptions). So an amount of $60,000,000 is taken out of the Prize Fund and paid out, creating a deficit of $13,000,000 for the lottery organization (again easy mathematics I hope you will not ask for a demonstration).
4 – So this will leave a Pools Fund of $0 to be divided by all other winners (4/6, 5/6, 5/6+ and 6/6 winning selections) in the ratios already given, AND NOT as you mention, from the Prize Fund ("… 9% of $47,000,000 …"). So they could be out of chance and come out with a big $0.00 for their effort but, I think (and here I assume) that they could claim $10 for having 3 winning selections (and this I know since when you have 4 you should also have 3 winning selections).
5 – So this can continue for other winners and the same conclusion would apply (a win of $0.00 or most likely $10), creating a greater deficit at this point for the lottery organization. When you say "… this situation can also happen for other prize category so why it is never happened nowhere in the world?" I will give you a real life example. Well, it snowed here yesterday and it is expected for today (not unlikely in winter in Quebec) but with your way of saying, why it is never happened for 30 consecutive days? Maybe it will happen (since it is possible) but I certainly do not wish that.
So a lottery is just a game of statistics and in the long run, the lottery organization will make (and have made) money even if, for one draw, your possible but unlikely scenario could happen.
And I could return your P.S. note but I would remove the word "somewhat"
