I generally go for the $5.00 mini-dip. If you win, great, but if you don't win, it didn't cost that much. Were all optimists to some degree.

Just out of interest, is your lottery a state run affair, or does it - like ours - line the pockets of a few fatcats, whilst donating a token amount to good causes?

Canadian lotteries are fairly tightly run. There is a set percentage that has to go to prize money and the rest goes to various charities and to admistration costs etc. My only complaint is that there are too many of them.

Actual payout will be 54.3 million due to heavy sales. It was won in Western Canada Lottery jurisdiction, so some luck bugger in Manitoba, Sask or Alberta won it. (btw- BC is its own lotto jurisdiction BCLC)

So Rev or Vanni did you check your numbers? Feel free to send some out this way. :)

Someone in Western Canada may be $54 million richer after Wednesday night's Lotto 6/49 draw.

Unofficially, the winning numbers are:

5 11 20 30 37 43 Bonus: 31

A B.C. Lottery Corporation official said the winning ticket was sold somewhere in either Alberta, Saskatchewan or Manitoba.
