Question about Ontario Lottario Draw JP

[hojimoe]

ok, just wondering something....the lottario for ontario - the JP was not won last night (april 7), and it was at a base of 250,000....why is it still only estimated for 250,000 next week? it says right on the site and always has grown until won...wtf?!

anyone got a reason for this?

Well, I don't know answer since I don't play that game, but was planing to play it the very next time if visiting there.

But, at some site I found that you have to play an additional quick pick for each ticket with own numbers you play. I'm not sure if it is true, but would be very disappointed if it is true.

Therefore, my question is do you really have to play a quick pick for each ticket of own numbers?

Personally I like games from 6/26+B up to 6/45 + B, if game has ball machines, and especially if ticket prices are good. And of course, no forced quick picks.....And like some 6/49's, for example Quebec's one, since has all data at their site from sales amounts, winners,etc, and has good prices, and ball machines....

the only quickpick part that comes with lottario is that for every line you buy, you get one FREE quickpick...no forced purchase, it's a QP that's random just like when you get super7 and you get two free lines with each you pay for

No forced purchase of ticket.... ...sure...but, is there a 6/45 game where you don't need to play a quick pick, and pay just for own numbers 50cents or such....maybe in that case you wouldn't ask why JP didn't increase, despite having no JP winners...

The base jackpot amount for Lottario is $250,000. The jackpot stays at that amount until the accumulated sales from successive draws is able to support a jackpot greater than that amount. Then the jackpot grows each draw.

Average weekly sales contribute around $75,000 towards the jackpot. Therefore it takes about 4 weeks of sales without a jackpot winner for the jackpot to exceed $250,000.

Hope this helps.
