We have a lotto group at work that buys lotto 6/49 or Super7 whenever it goes over $20 Million.

However, when Super 7 became Lotto Max we debated whether we wanted to continue. We decided not to. We looked at the odds and figured it would end up like this... nobody winning, week after week after week. That's not fun. At least with 6/49 usually SOMEBODY wins. It's never you, but at least when SOMEONE wins, you know it's not throwing your money into the waste pit that is the Lottery and Gaming Commission which is known for wasting hoards of cash.

I buy a ticket once every year or two.

If I win, CP gets a new server!

I spent 24 dollars on Maxlotto so hopefully it pays off. I don't buy lottery tickets often, but is the extra worth it? What kind of prizes do you win with the exrta? I have no clue how that extra 1 dollar lottery works.

I think you got screwed out of 24 bucks.

Just googled it. No one won the $50M jackpot but 30 of the 45 Maxmillions were won. There is an estimated 55 Maxmillion prizes next week along with the $50M main prize.

Nobody won the $50 million, but 30 of the $1 million prizes were won. Next week is $50 million + 55 $1 million draws.

Since the WCLC webpage is currently down (lol), the BCLC page has all of the winning numbers, including the general location of the winners:

No Prairie Extra number though... just their version.

Out of the 30 $1million prizes there was only 1 from Calgary.

It's probably my ticket, but $1million just isn't enough. so i won't check it until later.

You'll probably have to split the $1million 4 ways
