More Discussion/Feed back on Lotto Increase

[Sheba]

Feed Back I received about Ticket Sales..


> Sales from all lottery jurisdictions for the August 18 draw were
> $14,852,162.00 so if you divide this by the $2 price point it would be 7,426,081 selections.
>
> After the first eight weeks on the market, the new LOTTO 6/49 is booming, delivering on bigger jackpots and bigger results.
>
> Sales are up by 45% over last year. LOTTO 6/49 created 110,000 new winners in the 2/6+ bonus prize category in the first eight weeks of sales! Each and every draw, thousands of players are winning on this new prize category. The total number of winners is up by 25% over last year.
>
> The average ticket purchase is up $1.25. Players are spending $3.66 on every purchase compared to $2.43 before the change.
>
> The same number of players are purchasing each week, however some players are buying few boards than before. With the price change to $2, results are very positive.

It;s amazing how they can put a spin on things, you can sku numbers any way you like to be favorable to the way you want.

forgive me to jump in here again....

First, IMO the secret of winning is to buy quickpik.
and each computer generated ticket has to contain 10 selections. you cannot seperate them, all 10 selections have to fit in one ticket

I won many times (matching 3/6) with those 10 selections quickpik. I usually win zip for buying anything less (or picking my own numbers).. since the price increase I have stopped buying ticket. but my 10 bux saved isgoing to the piggy bank I stolen from my niece. when the big rollover jackpot (>10mil) comes, I will use the money in the piggy to buy my quickpik(more than 10 selection).

> Sales are up by 45% over last year. LOTTO 6/49 created 110,000 new winners in the 2/6+ bonus prize

who wants to won a lousy 5 buck? I cannot even buy a proper 649 ticket with 5 bux..

my motto, 2/6+ will not please me, only 6/6 will.

The evil bclc plan shall never succeed..

Well, if you don't have adequite resources to decide on numbers to play, Quick Picks are about the same result, loose, loose, loose most of the time... ...I'll get a Quick Pick for Stoopid 7 (just one for $2) 'cause in Ontario, you get 2 DAMNED Quick Picks for every 3 lines played anyway... ...a real rip off.. ...that, my friend is the short story... ...6/49 is a different story. 6/49 is managable, Stoopid 7 is not.

The 2+ for $5 is better than a kick in the pants... ...look at it this way, $150 for a 5 hitter for S7 sucks. Some BC players are not happy due to a computer generated game which had a price increase too for the BC 49. The Ontario 49 is the best deal for us in Ontario.

Stooopid 7

you hit it on the nail.

i never won any price playing stoooooooopid 7.

if there is any consolation, still the same price for S7- $2 for 3 lines in BC.

Re: Stooopid 7

M:

I've lost track... ...I'm not sure if S7 in BC is 3 lines where you can select all three lines to play... ...Ontario gives you 2 lines of garbage Quick Picks you are forced to pay $2 for. Am I 100% sure Quebec and Atlantic Regions are not like Ontario... ...I am leaning towards the same for BC.
