Our Prices are staying the Same..

Atlantic 649.....
The Atlantic Lottery Corporation will be offering Atlantic 6/49 as a separate game, meaning, customers will no longer have to purchase Lotto 6/49 in order to purchase Atlantic 6/49. The cost of Atlantic 6/49 will remain the same. With this flexibility, we felt this would offer our customers the option of continuing to purchase their tickets at the current cost with a smaller jackpot. Changes to the Atlantic 6/49 game are being finalized and will be implemented May 30, 2004. Atlantic 6/49 will then be a stand-alone game, and players will have the option to pick their own numbers. The option to purchase Atlantic 6/49 along with your Lotto 6/49 will still be available, however, you will not be able to pick your own numbers for this option.

I see that I will be able to play a better wheel... and I don't care if I have to share a million with 1 or 2 people. Any prize will do! ..

Ontario's staying the same too = 50 cents !! it's fine [perfect] for me too

ps : not alot of people play the provincials, hence there is usually only 1 $1million winner if there is any - same with the 5+B second !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think the people will play the Prov more when the price increases and then it will slowly go down again once people get use to the new price. I am not planning on spending any more $$$$ on 649. Just my 2 regular Lines and 1 backup Line.... I will been more into the provincial one ... I will study it more too once I can pick my own numbers, but for now all I am doing it keeping my database up to date.... Can't wait...

with a smaller jackpot.

That is horrible news. Atlantic 6/49 is one of the few Canadian lotteries that has a payout of more than 50%. If ALC cuts the jackpot in half to $500,000, then the payout rate may become lower than even the $2 Lotto 6/49!
