:eek2: It seems provincial 49s had a lot of JP and 5+B winners the last two draws. Especially glad to see there were both a JP and a 5+B winners in the BC49 last draw..

:goodluck: :agree:

2 things I have noticed is that the provincal lottos ont49 bc49 que49 atl49 very few big winners ,
and the other thing I noticed is why does bc49 have there big jackpot at 2 million when all others are at 1 million? I guess each province regulats the size of their own jackpots but still should they not be even across Canada?

How much is a tkt in BC? :)

Well, tickets are $1. I think the other provincial lotteries
have cheaper tickets and therefore lower prizes because of that. Also, by my knowledge, the only provincial lottery that uses a ball machine for it's local 49 draws is Atlantic49.
In my opinion, significantly more players would try those lotteries if they were either televised or used a ball machine. I don't think that would affect-lower any 6/49 sales simply because in my opinion some people stopped playing it after the last - at $2/ ticket price increase, turning to either provincial lotteries, online overseas lotteries or quitted playing lottery at all. At least it would bring into the game many of those who turned to some online lotteries or such, or quitted playing lottery...

Ontario 49 also uses a ball machine.

Why the jacpots are not won very often? Less people play them, but hey at 50 cents a ticket i can get 4 tickets for every 649 i could play so i would play ontario 49.
 
Still low numbers of winners for BC49 compared to the way it was
before the Ticket price increase.
It used to be once a month there was a winner and tons of 5+/6.
It was very exciting at the times cause we used to get 4/8 once in a while.
But now I hardly play it and if I do it's because of the extra which has better chances than BC49.

Well, used to play between 50 and 100 or so lines per draw for some short time when tickets were 50c, and hadn't had any big wins, but however liked playing it. Tickets prices were OK and JP was at 1 million:agree:
I never played extra simply because it's not possible to chose own numbers. So since some numbers never liked me, in return I don't like seeing some numbers among the lines I play...

Wow, didn't know that. Do you have a link or such to an official web site containing that info?

I called them awhile ago, the Ontario 69, Ontario Keno, Ontario lottario and Super 7 and Canada649 = all use ball machines

It's true we can't choose our own numbers but the truth is many ppl are winning the EXTRA more than BC49...
Hopefully they put price back to 50C ( DreamLand )..
