  I don't know how many follow the Lotto 6/49 game out of Canada. It gets hit just about every drawing ... they must have a tremendous amount of tickets played with almost total coverage for every drawing.

  The starting jackpot is $5 million ... now sometimes it carries over for a few drawings. I'm posting the results since Feb 14, 2015 ... it was hit that night for $13,888,226.10 with one ticket.

  After that drawing ... it has been hit every drawing since through last night ... Mar 04, 2015. There were two winning tickets last night but all the other drawings were one winning ticket.

  I just find this interesting for a 6/49 game with odds of 13,983,816 for a winning ticket.

  I have followed this game since last summer and this pattern was also playing out then ... once in awhile it climbs to $20 million plus but not often.

  That is interesting. I remember Ohio's Pick 6/49 game went 70 some draws without a winner. Same odds.

  Apparently a lot more people play Canada's 6/49 to have winners every draw.

  Well, it is a national lottery.... must be people from every Canadian Province playing it and I suspect that players from U.S. border states are in on the action.  If I lived in Detroit or Buffalo, I'd be playing it.

  Play Smart!

  Before PowerBall and BigGame were available in neighboring states Ohio's SuperLotto (6/49+1) was just as popular and had players from all the surrounding states coming to Ohio to play it.  Jackpots of $20M-$70M were won often two or more times a month.  If Canada's 6/49 game had games like PB or MM as competition it would suffer the same fate as Ohio's Classic Lotto (6/49).
