72 million in Canada Lottery Grand Prizes

Yes it is that time again

lotto Max has such a large pool of losers that the grand prize is over 50 Million.

16-Mar-2012 – 05 07 18 24 28 41 49 Bonus 26 – no winner
09-Mar-2012 – 07 18 19 29 39 47 48 Bonus 32 – no winner

It is just luck

So – find 4 friends – each put in a buck – dream big – keep your losses low

I will pick one # from 1 to 9, 2 from 10 to 19, 1 from 20 to 29, 2 from 30 to 39 and 1 from the 40′s.

good luck everyone

20 Million Jan 18 and 30 Million Jan 20 in Canada Lottery draws

50 Million up for grabs again.

hmmmmm?

This means there have been millions of losers for the past few weeks. Big prizes mean big losers.

Hmmmmm?

So what kind of rational will I use this time.

It is just after Christmas – got the visa and amex bills – they are not going away on their own – having 20 or 30 million in the bank will mean that I never have to worry abount my credit card debt again.

I am getting ready to organize my taxes and then it hits me – I have 3 part time jobs – just to pay the bills – and really I am sliding backwards – not getting ahead – my industry is shrinking – the pay levels are declining each year as the recently un-employed from other professions are willing to take less in mine. Predictions are less work and less money for the next 10 years.

hmmmm?

I have additional negative thoughts – Rob sent in a link to a computer program that simulates a lottery player’s experience. I played and it appears that I have to invest about $76 dollars to win 10. Check it out for yourself – the link is in the comments.

hmmmmmm?

My strategy will be to find 6 other losers – buy one 6/49 ticket and one lotto max ticket. I can risk one dollar.

I wonder if this can be claimed as a tax deduction?

89 Million $ Lottery Prizes has My Attention

Yes it is that time again – when the huge size of the Lotto Max and 6/49 Grand prizes have acquired my attention.

Usually the 13.5 million to one and the 63 billion to one chance of winning common sense stops me from reaching into my pocket.

The emotional – yes someone has to win – why not me – be positive – think like a winner – part of my brain says – yeah why not – you have wasted far more time and money on less deserving financial projects.

So here we go again: the 6/49 grand prize for November 12, 2011 is 22 Million – The Lotto Max for November 18, 2011 is 50 Million plus 17 Million in extra prizes.

I will form some lottery groups and invest one dollar in part of some 6/49 and lotto Max tickets. To be honest I am happy with a quarter of the 22 or 50 Million dollar prizes. Losing 2 dollars is better than losing 7 dollars. If we win as a group then we will all have money and can enjoy the prize together. This is much better for long term happyness.

70 Million Up for Grabs – March 4 – Lotto Max

Everyone knows my opinion. Lotto max has been a terrible lottery for Canadians. It is just too expensive at 5 bucks for 3 chances out of 63 million. There is just too much money floating around for abuse by the lotto corp political junkies.
