Thanks for your work Dead Aim.
It was funny, last night I was studying Pick 3 to Pick 4 and saw that December 17 evening draw Pick 4 was 0400. Right away I recalled that you'd said Pick 3 was seriously overdue for an evening triple, and I thought that 000 was likely going to be it. It was too late for me to go make the play but I was amazed when I checked the winners later and there it was! So, you predicted an evening triple way overdue. The question is in how many draws will it show (how long to carry the line of play)? So, now I have to go to the game history and find out where are the previous triples showed and get a sense for when the next one will show :)
I Don't Bother Playing Triples Here Since P3 Payout Is Pari-Mutuel.
Last Night's 000 Only Paid Out $270.($1 Bet Minimum)
If You Were Playing Just Half Of The Triples(Either Odd,Even,High Or Low)Twice A Day,
It Would Cost You $10/Day.
After A Month You'd Be In The Hole.
The 666 Last Month Did Pay Out $493 Since There Were Only 86 Winners.

$270.10
You'd Be Better Off Waiting For Doubles To Show As These Normally Pay Out More Straight.
Thursday's 144 Paid Out $654.30
Anyhow,Here Are The 22 Triples That Hit In The Past 5 Years.

Nice To See You Back Posting Again DA;Been Way Too Long.
Thank you very much LB, I appreciate that.
I was starting to feel bad for you all when I saw your triple payouts could be very low (as we always get $600 here) but I got over it when I see what your doubles can pay. wow! nice.

Some Doubles Pay More Than Others.
I Checked The Payouts On The Last 10 That Hit.
The Average Payout Is $480 With $654 As The Highest(144) In The Past 10 And $348 As The Low(101)
I Don't Play As Often As I Used To, But I Remember Seeing One Double Pay Out Just Under $900.
Pick 4 Has Fixed Payouts In Line With Most States($200/$400/$800/$1250/$5K)

Hi LottoBux and Vholling!
Tx for the info on payouts and details for triples. That 000 only paid out $270 here. Doubles usually pay $150-$200 ($1.00 bet) depending on the pot which depends how many people played and how many won. I noticed that in years where triples begin in January, there are more of them throughout the year so maybe 2015 will more than usual.
Here we can bet $1.00, $2.00, $5.00 or $10.00 on a Pick 3 (the pick 4 only allows a $1.00 bet). Good luck with all your strategies!

You U.S. guys are so lucky to be able to bet .50 cents per line, and even recover with payouts on back and front end pairs yet! Ontario needs a .50 cent lottery but for some reason the OLG just keeps on creating more and more expensive games (6/49 is $3.00 per line, LottoMax is $5.00 for an enforced three line play). I want to look into NJ games actually as astrologically I have a Jupiter/Pluto crossing over Atlantic City (this is a big odds buster in astrology) so will have to check out online play.
LottoBux, I didn't realize you're in Ontario (falling asleep by the time I get online here!) and your $$ quotes were for here - duh... Hope you're having a good start to 2015 :)

I E-Mailed OLG Last Year Regarding .50 Wagering Option.
Here Is The Reply I Received.
Thank you for contacting OLG. I apologize for the delay in responding.
Although there are no current plans to change our PICK-3 or PICK-4 games to include lower wagering options, I have documented your suggestion to be shared with the appropriate business areas.
We appreciate the time you have taken to contact us and wish you luck with future tickets.
