I posted this earlier in the thread but it really it isn't that surprising that the 50 mil jackpot isn't won. So for those who think its a scam it really is just probabilities
Now it really isn't that surprising that this 50 million dollar pot wasn't one. This week started at 50 million and ended at 50 million plus 27 million in single prizes. So the jack pot increased by 27 million. So the 7/7 prizes are made up of 87% of the price pool which means the total price pool was about 31 million. This does not include the 3 of 7 / 4 of 7 prize.
The 3 of 7 and 4 of 7 prices represent about 1.30 of each ticket purchased. Of each ticket purcahsed 48% goes to prices so $2.40 of each ticket goes to prizes. 2.40-1.30 = $1.10 of each ticket goes to the big pool. So there would be a grand total of about 28 million tickets sold.
Now because you are allowed duplicate numbers the odds of no one winning with 28 million tickets sold is about 36%. Even with 50,000,000 tickets sold as estimated for next week there is still about a 16% chance no one wins.

I got 5 out of 7, but one of them is the bonus. Does that mean I won $20, or $120??

Bonus only counts if you have 3 of the main numbers or 6 of them.
As for over 75 maxmillions.... I have no idea. I hope for it to never happen.
Edit: Two $25M winners. One in Western Canada. The next jackpot is $30 million... at least they put the maxmillions that didn't get won, back in the pot. =P

So with next week's jackpot being "only" $30M, does that mean there will be no Maxmillion prizes?

BOOOOOOOOOO.
2 people won the $50mil. 1 from Sasky and the other from an Atlantic province.
There were 2 $1million winners from Calgary though. I'm sure i won both of them, but still disappointed. That just isn't enough money. Steve Staios makes more in 1 year!

Got excited and thought I won the $50M jackpot when I matched all seven numbers on my Lotto Max ticket. Turns out I only won one of the many $1M maxmillion prizes. So that's what losing $49M feels like. FML. What a horrible start to my morning.
