You are right MRLOTTO69,

Those odds are on a $5 Play.

I Guess the only reason they posted those odds is because that's the only way to play LottoMax

You can't just play a single line (at the increased odds of 99,884,400

I read the Wikipedia article on Lotto Max. Thanks for sharing the article. When you read the Prize structure of winning the 7/7 main prize it states CHANCE OF WINNING ON A $5 PLAY IS 1 IN 33,294,800.

It does not state ODDS AS 1 IN 33,294,800.

As I stated before , total combinations of 7/50 is 99,884,400. They divided the three (3) lines of the total combinations and arrived with 33,294,800 combinations.

The minimum cost to play Lotto Max is $5.00 which includes 3 seven number (7) t... [ More ]

Hello again,

When Lotto Max was with a field of 49 numbers 7/49, the total 7 number combinations equaled to 85,900,584.

Any guess as to why they added number 50 to the field of 7/50 ? It increased the total combinations by 13,983,816.

That is why week after week no one wins the Lotto Max jackpot in Canada with a population of 35 million.

How does dividing 99,884,400 by 3 tickets you arrive at odds of 1 in 33,294,800

Hello LottoBux,

Here is the formula to calculate total 7 number combinations from 50 numbers without repeat of any of the seven numbers.

50x49x48x47x46x45x44 divided by 1x2x3x4x5x6x7 = 99,884,400 seven number combinations.

I did not miscalculated. Humans miscalculate, math does not.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lotto_Max

Beginning with the May 14, 2019 draw, the field of numbers increased from 49 to 50 (changing the odds of a jackpot win to 1 in 33 million)

It's the same here, so maybe You miscalculated

The OLG states that the odds of winning the Lotto Max (7/50) jackpot is 1 in 33,294,800. I did the calculations and it shows 99,884,400 total seven (7) number combinations of 50 numbers without repeat of the same seven numbers.

Thereby, there is only one (1) seven number combination drawn from a total of possible 99,884,400 seven (7) number combinations.

In my view the odds would be 1 in 99,884,400. Not 1 in 33,294,800

Thanks!

Broderick Crawford was one of the greatest actors that ever lived!

I love watching those old cars on that show.

Also, i've seen some future stars such as Robert Conrad (The Wild Wild West), John Hart (The Lone Ranger), and Leonard Nimoy, on some episodes.

All in all, it's a great show

Congratulations on their win.

Just the thought if someone win the 165 Million PB today they will most likely take home less than the couple did from their Canadian $70 Million is insane.

Taxing the lottery is such a pain
