How Western Canada does thier Pick 3 draw
I sent a request to wclc asking how the draw is done here is the response i got. Dear Jamie, Thank you for your inquiry to Western Canada Lottery Corporation (WCLC). There are two stand-alone computerized draw machines used for WCLC s regional games such as WESTERN 649, EXTRA and PICK 3.

Improvements to the jackpot history pagesReply
Thanks for your hard work. The largest prize listed in the Canadian 6/49 game is wrong from what I can tell. www.wclc.com/FAQ/ lists the highest prizes. Nice that the currency is listed as well.

The lowdown on RNG predraws in WC
I email i got back from WCLC 0n thier predraws and how they work. Dear Jamie, Thank you for your two e-mails to Western Canada Lottery Corporation (WCLC).

All states Lottery...tax freeReply
NOT TRUE ! The reason Canada and our provincial games are tax free is that the GOVERNMENT runs the lottery and no outside operator. They advertise the jackpot as they are. The government takes its shares before the jackpot is determined. That's why you will never see a jackpot in Canada ever get to 100 million. The U-S advertises its prizes before any government intervention. It's not about funds...it's just the way each province (OLG, WCLC, Loto Quebec, ALC, BCLC) has been run since lot

Lost In Alberta?Reply
A reply from wclc Because verifying the Retail location is part of the security procedure we use to confirm that a ticket presented is indeed a winning ticket, specific information about where a winning ticket is sold is not released until the prize is claimed. However, we can tell you that the June 7, 2006 LOTTO 6/49 $14.9 Million prize was won on a ticket purchased in Alberta, but outside of the cities of Calgary and Edmonton

How Western Canada does thier Pick 3 drawReply
I am still chasing sum 17 and tasking a beating, i need it to drop, But the most interesting concep is that it has not showed on any of the 6 rngs for 100 days so 100/ 6 = 16 days What we dont know is how many times it appeared in a pre draw, we could use its same average given what we know about sums. But what if it has appeared in 2 of the predraws, then its not really missin really yet! We know everything about the draw we just dont know the predraw. How did the Kansas RNG get notic
