The $5 million Lotto 649 jackpot for the May 13 draw was not won and is a minimum $7 million for the next draw. Sales of $14.9 million were 14% lower than average and 19% lower than the previous draw. There was a 70% chance the jackpot would not be won, a 25% chance of 1 winning ticket and a 5% chance of 2 or more winners. The payout was very low at 39%. The jackpot was under funded from sales by $1.7 million.

You are more likely to win the General Canadian Lotto 6-49 48 times than you are to win the Lotto Max once.   :P

Yes, Lotto 649 is easier to win than Lotto Max but no where close to 48 times easier. And besides, the Lotto Max jackpot is much bigger at $75 million - larger than Lotto 649 has ever reached.

Of course it is - simple math.

Chances of winning Lotto 6/49 is 49 to the power of 6
Chances of winning Lotto Max is 49 to the power of 7

49 times harder to have the same chance.  So I'm correct in writing it's probable you could win Lotto 649 48 times before you won Lotto Max once.  :)

Who wouldn't be happy with winning a pathetic $10 Million or so on the Lotto 649?   :P

Odds to win the Lotto 649 jackpot are 1 in 14 million and odds to win the Lotto Max jackpot are 1 in 28 million. These odds are for a single tickets. We buy hundreds of tickets and so our odds are much better.

Cool.  How many jackpots have you won?   :P
