At this point you have me a little puzzled..I only mentioned this site as I found it to be one of the better sites where someone can go as a reference point to check out stats that pertain to the 649 lottery but for some reason you seem persistant in trying to convince me that this group is not up front in providing the information you seem so desperately to want..It is a fact that OLGC does overview this site and until such time as they give me cause not to to trust them I will continue to us...

Rainbow,You certainly do not make it very clear. That is why I am suspicious. For example, you wrote that $110 was put in the pool and 56 tickets were bought. It cost $112 to buy 56 Lotto 649 tickets. Where did the extra $2 come from?You also wrote that the pool organizer is a lottery retailer and is making money on the 3% redemption. I checked with the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation and they confirmed that retailers get 3% of redemptions. But retailers are limited on the size of prize t... [ More ]

I really don't know what else I can tell you except that the tickets you see in my post are the ones that have been posted so far for today's draw..The number of tickets and the combinations will be listed on the board when the draw is closed at 6 pm tonight..Until I know how many more tickets were submitted I cannot tell you how many tickets with those combo's will be purchased..I can give you an example from last week..$110.00 was put in the pool and 56 tickets of various combininations were p...

Rainbow,Will due respect, I smell a scam. You have not answered my questions. What is their cut? What are their fees?How many tickets were purchased using the example from above? A total of $65 was contributed. I know what you wrote, that they combine the numbers and wheel them but at the end of the day it still translates to a fixed number of tickets. What is that number?Good luck,Jake

Jake..I hope I can explain this right..When I purchase a ticket I place a $10 bet on that ticket, sort of speak..Then they take the numbers that I have chosen for that ticket and combine them with all the other tickets that have been purchased by other members..Then they wheel all those ticket numbers together..Your share of the winnings depend on how much you want to invest.. Now if someone has placed a $20 wager on their ticket then in turn they would get a bigger share..I hope I explained t... [ More ]

Rainbow,I am still not clear on the costs. If each person spends $10 and there are 10 people in the group for a total of $100, how many tickets do they buy? Does each person get 10% of the winnings.Good luck,Jake

Jake..Just saw your post..Actually there is no up front fee other than what you pay for the ticket which they in turn buy combinations with..They post these combinations BEFORE the draw for all memebers to see whether you purchase into it or not..I believe OLGC allows this site run the same way a store prop would...I think he is paid 3% ..If you join you have access to the complete site..Keep in mind that even if you join you do NOT have to purchase any lottery tickets..They assign you your own

MINIMUM BET IS $10 TO Max of $1000.> have yet to see anyone bet the max..Most bet $ 10, others about $20..Myself I usually bet $10..There are never usually more than 6 to 9 players at best right now..I wouldn't want too many because if and when we do win big then it would be more people to share with..I think if it grows any larger they may divide it into more groups..OLGC keeps very strict reigns on it..You can play as many tickets as you want but it must be under a different e-mail addy each t...

Jill,I checked out the play649 site. I could not find anywhere what they charge. I do not trust sites that are not upfront on their fees. I assume they charge fees because they accept credit cards. As a rule, I never join lottery groups that charge fees. I find it easy enough to start office lottery groups without fees.What does play649 charge?Good luck,Jake

Just me againn..The group I belong to is ..Just joined a few weeks ago..It's only a very small group of folks and figured I'd give it a try..They have excellent stats for the 649 if you look at those of numbers, triples, doubles, etc..I don't always place a bet but it's nice to look over all the info they provide..Not sure if I'm allowed to post this here....I want to join this group (lottery post)bceause I notice they have the wheels I can fool around with with a larger set of numbers bur when...

Jill,I am Canadian but because I live close to the border I have the opportunity to play US lotteries. I agree that Ontatio 49 is the best buy in general. I usually play the larger jackpot games as part of a group.Good luck,Jake

Hi Jake..Thanks for the info..I live and play in Ontario..I play, Super7/Keno/Lottario/Ont49/649Ont49 is only 50 cents a ticket, 4 tickets for the price of one 649 although it is only worth one mil compared to the higher payouts for 649 but it is tax free..Are you a Canadian or American player?..I recently joined a group site where both American and Canadian and play but the min bet is $10 per draw and is for the Canadian 649 only..I'm always hearing about group wins so I thought I would give...

Rainbow,I play the Canadian lotteries along with some US ones. In general, I play the Canadian ones more because of the much higher expected value.Also, Ontario recently added a new bonus feature to their online lotteries. Last month it was buy 3 Super 7 plus 1 Encore and get a free Super 7 ticket. That is $9 worth of tickets for only $7.This month the promotion is, buy 3 Lotto 649 plus 1 Encore and get a free Encore. Getting $8 worth of tickets for only $7. Not as good a deal as last month but

I was considering joining this as a paid member but was wondering if it would be worth it for me if there are no fellow Canadians who like to discuss the same lotteries as myself..It seems like a truly GREAT site for the American lotteries and have suggested it to several of my friends...
