Lotto max and 649 are SCAMS set up by the OLG.....I actually called them cause the odds were not making sense as per the amount of tickets sold....they amount of people who draw there own numbers are 20 percent.....quick pick numbers accumulate to 70-80 percent....heres the catch....THEY WILL DRAW THE SAME NUMBERS AND DISPERSE THEM ACCORDINGLY.....for example if you get a quick pick number lets say 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 they will regenerate that same line repeatedly to others...they wouldnt give me the exact ratio of how often this occurs but this is all part of the SCAM


My father-in-law won $144,000+ on the 6/49, so it's obviously no scam! Printing this sh*t should be an indictable offense. Why do you think the winners names and pictures are published?

Anyone wanna buy Machjo's lotto tickets?

Your best chance of winning, guaranteed! :)


Guaranteed to be zero? :) :) :)

One of my cousins won $100,000 on Encore.

It happens.

I don't go to casino's often, because I can't afford it, but I enjoy gambling. We go about 5 or 6 times/ year, and make it fun. We have dinner, sometimes rent a hotel room, drink nice wine. We also, always have a minimum that we can afford to loose, money melts at these places. As for winning, we've never won anything big, even in Vegas (we were 8 of us), no one won more than a couple hundred bucks. As for lotteries, it's simple, if you don't have a ticket you can be sure you will not win. Play or don't play, it's a choice.

Wadda you do when you're too drunk to fish?

Crumple up some bills and practise your hoop shots with a garbage can.

Lotteries are not scams. There are no false promises of returns. You are told what the odds of winning are for each draw. If you make the choice to buy a ticket then you are not being scammed but just gambling. Might pay off big time but probably not. Simple bussiness transaction. If you think they are crooked in some way then you have the choice to just not buy a ticket. You are also free to shut up.

P.S. funnyguy. You computer has a space bar which had you used it would have made your rant at least readable.
eh1eh wow you must know everything lol either you work for the government or you are narrow minded. Lotteries aren't scams did i say all lotteries are scams no, yes we make choices to play or not , having government run anything we all know but maybe you is not in the best interest of any Canadian. You can't say to me or anybody that you know that lotto max isn't rigged so stfu. and yes i do have a choice to buy a ticket or not but i should also have a say in who runs a lottery also. This country is in the **** hole it's in because of people just like eh1eh. Thats a fact. I make a statement about lotteries and government and some ignorant puke says i can shut up , right.You should learn how to spell business tard.

hey JLM , furiousrooster ,not sure where you come up with if you say lotteries are a scam accounts that the OLG doesn't pay anything. I know people that have won also. But when it comes to Lotto Max yes i agree i wouldn't put it passed the government to do whatever they want. And as far as an indictable offense lol, free speech and again people like you that say garbage statements like that is ridiculous, please tell me where people like you come from. I bet JLM your the kind of person that believes terrorists attacked on 911 lol too right.

There may be something legitimate here. As far as I know computers cannot generate truly random numbers, they are deterministic devices and it may be possible to discover patterns in computer-generated lottery numbers. I haven't looked at this in detail for decades so I may be wrong now, things may have changed, but the last time I DID look computers could generate only pseudo-random numbers. All the algorithms I've seen used a register overflow as a random number generator, they required what was called a seed value to start with, and the same seed value always produced the same set of supposedly random numbers. I always wrote the routines to get the seed value from the milliseconds counter in the system clock, on the assumption that there'd be no pattern on that scale to when users started the program, but even so, every thousandth run would get a duplicate seed value and the same pseudo-random number.

You could well be right, I play a lot of Keno on the machines at the casino and I definitely notice repeating patterns, not exactly the same but quite similar, yet different enough that I don't suspect it's rigged.

LottoMax and 649 are drawn using balls, not computer algorithms.
