WINNIPEG (CBC) - A Sagkeeng First Nation family in Manitoba is $50 million richer after their ticket came up the winner in Friday evening's Lotto Max draw.......


http://ca.news.yahoo.com/s/cbc/091108/canada/canada_manitoba_man_lotto_max_winners_1
Reports said the family left the First Nation community in a limousine bound for Winnipeg, about 150 kilometres south, on Friday or early Saturday.

A gf of mine told me that she bought it 1 hour before closing time AND she thinks she heard it was a QUICK PICK Fred. :D

I don't play Lottomax . Anyway, how did your QP perform ?
Didn't do quick pick, played some personal numbers, thought I'd give it a shot.

But the $50 million dollar winners, their QP (if what my friend heard was true), did BRILLIANTLY. :p

I'm not surprised that it was a QP winner. Who in their right mind would choose an odd ball string of numbers like: 02, 07, 08, 11, 16, 17, 18.

Even if I played 10,000 tickets for that draw, I would never have chosen a string of numbers where 18 was the highest :eek:

I sometimes wonder if the gaming corporation and their computers aren't rigged in the sense that, it knows that nobody else has picked these string of numbers, calculates the odds that someone will pick them in the remaining time left and then BOOM, quick pick for this person.

Really makes me wonder.

Actually lower numbers would be a common choice since people would select birth dates in their series of numbers.

Last Friday probably there were multiple draws in multiple jurisdictions
and the draw that had the most winners was picked.

For those who spend years of effort trying to figure out the lottery, Friday's draw is gonna confuse the sh*t out of them.

Lol....Glad I did not play Lottomax yesterday.
Strange result indeed. Not impossible but it makes you wonder particularly when you see comments like the one below from Olg.ca
on their Lottomax page:

Some of the more popular combinations are based on sequences of numbers, vertical, horizontal or diagonal lines on selection slips, multiples of numbers, variations of historic dates or birth dates, etc. These combinations vary from draw to draw and change depending on customer play patterns.

I wonder how many of the people that despised the change to lotto max have succumbed and now are players.

The odds did not change! Just because there were a few winners in one draw does not change that. The odds are still 1: 85 000000 ! Sales last week were only $25 000 000 compared to $54 000000 when the jackpot was $50 million. Many people don't play Lottomax at all. Don't forget that for several weeks people lost a lot of money on Lottomax and in all probability the jackpot will go up to $50 000 000 before there is a winner.

I'm with Fred on this. It will probably go to 50 million before there are winners again.

But, it's worth 12.00 a week, just imagine as the commercial says. However, I haven't seen that commercial on TV as much the past week! LOL.

I'm still of the thought that lotteries should be no more than 2/3 million each and have several winners, but that would be too much to ask!

I kinda agree. I can see the good in having multiple winners of 2-3 million being good in an 'overall' sense, however jackpots like that don't get people playing. On the other hand, I see LottoTaxx as a shift to the complete opposite. Big jackpots are nice, but what the 6/49 offers on a regular basis, plus the odd time when the jackpots climb to upwards of $50 milllion, is a much better 'bang for buck' in my opinion.

So all-in-all, I agree with you and Fred.

The OLG said that LottoMax will have more millionaires, but there are only 3 millionaires thus far for the last three months. Super 7 would have produced at least 5 millionaires by now.

Glad I didn't play LottoTax, instead went to the Casino, dropped $20 and on my first $3 bet won $720, then another $169 and $131.
I was ahead and left, that was my quickest trip to the Casino ever. :p

Really would rather have won the $20K jackpot :\
