Lottery
The Canadian Lotto 6 - 49 is played across Canada, there is no tax on the winnings, and you receive the full amount if you have the winning numbers.
The Lotto has been running since 1982 and started with the price of CA$1.00 it now costs CA$2.00. The game is run on Wednesday and Saturdays.
The game itself is very simple, you can choose your favorite 6 numbers, or you can have the computer randomly quick pick your 6 numbers.
The odds of winning the main jackpot 6 out of 6 numbers is 1 out of 13,983,816 and pays out 80.50% of the Pool's Fund
You also win if you have 5 out of 6 numbers plus the bonus number the odds of winning this is 1 out of 2,330,636,
and pays out 5.75% of the Pool's Fund.The next winning numbers are 5 out of 6 numbers (no Bonus Number) and the odds of winning this is 1 out of 55,482 and pays 4.75% of the Pool's Fund.
The next winning set of numbers are 4 out of 6 numbers with the odds of 1 out of 1,033 and pays 9% of the pool's Fund.The next winning selection is 3 out of 6 numbers and has a fixed payout of CA$10.00.
the odds of winning this are 1 out of 56.7 %, next set is 2 out of 6 numbers plus the bonus number and it has a fixed payout of CA$5.00, the odds of winning this is 1 out of 81.2.
The odds of winning any prize is 1 out of 32.3.
Here is a graph of the most frequent numbers that have been drawn.
By picking the most frequently drawn numbers does not mean you have a better chance of winning.
They are randomly chosen and when I checked the numbers from 2346 games that have been drawn I found no
combination of numbers that came up consistantly. More odd numbers came up over even numbers.
I found no 6 number combinations eg: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
My suggestion is even though they advertise, "that you never no", I would suggest that if you have an extra $2.00
and want to dream for a couple of days go on and get your ticket, do not go and mortgage the house.
Keep away from those who sell lotto systems, as there is no way you can devise a system to beat this game.
If you want to have a greater chance at winning the best way is to play a 5 number combination.
It goes like this when you choose a 5 number combination you pick 5 numbers, and every other number from 1 - 49 is added to create every 6 number selection possible.
You get 44 selections and the cost is CA$88.00. If you win the following numbers matched 1 + Bonus number you will win 5 - 2 out of 6 plus the bonus the odds of this are 1 out of 28.
if you match 2 numbers on your ticket you will win 1 - 2 out of 6 + bonus,4 - 3 out of 6, the odds of this is 1 out of 12.
If your ticket has 2 numbers plus the bonus number you will win 40 - 2 out of 6 + Bonus number prizes,4 - 3 out of 6 prizes,the odds of this are 1 out of 148.
If your ticket has 3 matching numbers you will win 41 - 3 out of 6 prizes,3 - 4 out of 6 prizes.The odds of this are 1 out of 111.
If your ticket has 3 matching numbers with the Bonus number you will win 41 - 3 out of 6 prizes, 3 - 4 out of 6 prizes, the odds of this are 1 out of 2,271.
If your ticket has 4 matching numbers you will win 42 - 4 out of 6 prizes, 2 - 5 out of 6 prizes, the odds of this are 1 out of 3,027.
If your ticket has 4 matching numbers and the bonus number you will win 42 - 4 out of 6 prizes,2 - 5 out of 6 + Bonus Prizes, the odds of this are 1 out of 127,126.
If you ticket has 5 matching numbers you will win 42 - 5 out of 6 prizes, 1 - 5 out of 6 +Bonus Prizes, and 1 - 6 out of 6 Prizes, the odds of this are 1 out of 317,814.
I have devised a way to win the 6 number combination guaranteed, all you need is an investor to put up CA$27,967,632.00, a computer program to print out all the
6 number combinations (there are 13,983,816 of them), then have a staff of approx 5000 people to fill in the slips(with no mistakes) then have another 5000 people to
go to the lottery terminals and have all of the tickets printed out. Hopefully you will have enough time, and if there are no winners to split with and the pot is big enough,
presto you have cleaned up and beaten the lotto.
Below is a little lotto game that I have supplied for you have fun with it and remember that gambling should be fun, and the more you know about the games, the
more enjoyable they are.
