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.

Feb 16 6/49 Lotto Stats

How I pick my lotto 6/49 numbers – I have looked at some of the 6/49 stats that are available starting in 1982.

With bonus number included:
#34 has the highest frequency at 453
#15 has the lowest frequency at 350

When looking at when last drawn lottery numbers
0 to 7 draws ago is normal
8 to 10 draws ago is medium ( 10)
11 to 14 ago is cool ( 45, 49, 26, 1, 8, 29, 2)
15 plus ago is cold (41, 30, 37, 14)

When just counting regular numbers:
Coldest starts at: 48, 30, 14, 38, 41, 29, 37, 2, 26, 45, 49, 1, 8, 10

The last draw featured 3 normal 1 medium 1 cool and 1 cold number

How I pick my lottery numbers – My usual pick is 3 from normal and 1 each from the others but I think this time there will be 4 normal numbers.

Time to look at more stats with the faint belief that it helps.

Come back tomorrow for more 6/49 lotto stats as we try to win the 35 Million dollar jackpot for the February 16, 2011 lottery draw.

Big Week for Canadian Lotteries

Feb 14, 20011 is Valentines Day – what a nice opportunity to get your Honey or Sweetie a nice retirement present.

I am all pumped up because I just won 10 bucks on the Feb 12 6/49 lottery and have the money ready to go.

I will just buy one of those terrible Lotto Max sucks tickets and one of the 6/49 tickets buy a card for under 3 bucks and presto – I have solved 3 problems all at once – what to do with my winnings – last-minute valentine shopping – entertaining myself with the two of the bigger lottery grand prizes occurring in the same week together.

Because I also want to win either or both of these 35 or 43 million dollar jackpots and retire into my new profession of adult toy testing – I will use all of my best guesses.

Come back this week to see what crazy formulas and criteria we have made up – just to convince ourselves that it helps us to get closer to winning.

New My Lottery Picks Theme

Yes we changed our basic theme to update the MyLotteryPicks blog.
This week we have Lotto Max Sucks at 30 Million for 5 bucks and we have the forget about it 6/49 at 30 Million for 2 bucks.

Lottery odds to win

For Lotto Max Sucks: it is 1 to 28,633,528

For forget about it 6/49: it is 1 to 13,983,816.

You notice the 1 chance out of whatever is right beside 0 chance out of whatever.

According to the CBC
You are three times more likely to be killed in a traffic accident driving 16 kilometres to buy your ticket than winning the jackpot.

If you want to win big, consider taking that $10 a week you might spend on lottery tickets and investing it. After 35 years, you will be guaranteed $100,314.56 — if you get an eight per cent return on your investment.
