I have been playing Lotto games for quite a awhile best game has too be Lotto Poker with the extra 1 extra all in Progressive Jackpot feature won't play NHL or Wheel of fortune as the computer picks the numbers/words in the nightly draw and i don't see too many big wins when i check the the OLG website what i don't understand is some people won't add the extra 1 for Lotto Poker and miss out on a good top prize why

Lottery is usualy bad value for the money. Yes, they promise a high payout for a small buy-in, but if you go through the numbers, the house edge is usualy in the double digits. It is like an extra tax for those willing to pay it.

Hello my friends
Maybe they don´t add the extra buck because they are traditional gamers they always play like that and they don´t want nothing new
But in this matter I agree with Calmplay love strip clubs looove poker but lotto is not my game but when is a big jackpot I put a small bet 2/4 euros at the Euromillions

One of the reasons is that we here in ontario have toooo many lotteries.
Pick 2 (twice a day) Pick 3 (twice a day) Pick 4 ( twice a day) Keno (twice a day ) lottario ( once a week) ontario 49 (twice a week) lotto 6/49 (twice a week) lotto max (once a week) poker lotto (once a day) NHL lotto( once a day) Wheel of fortune lotto (once a day) mega dice lotto (once a day)
Plus we have every type of instant win scratch ticket they can think of, from $1.00 to $20.00 So maybe this is why players don't add in that extra $1.00

Boom! /thread. Any opportunity of gambling where you need to pray for a win is -EV.

Yea, but if you win in one of these games, you wont have to play in any other +EV game ever lol. The odds are low and everyone knows it, but that doesnt mean it can never happen. So all of us trying to hit s big one some day. Who knows, we may get lucky.
Honestly, the odds are not just low - they are criminally in the 'how big of a chance I get to be hit by a meteor next summer' territory sometimes and therefore you actually better off not pouring your money into it. But what can I say, my close relatives doing it too.
The odds for Lotto Poker are not that bad. I hit 2 Full house this year with the extra all in loonie with my biggest win being 4 out of 5 cards 2nd prize for 500 and around 10 flushes i guess right place at the right time good luck

When it comes to these games im not of the ones pouring money into it. If it has a jackpot im gonna play a couple of minimum sets and thats it. I prefer betting mostly At least there i know that i can win something.
1 extra all in Progressive Jackpot feature won't play NHL or Wheel of fortune as the computer picks the numbers/words in the nightly draw and i don't see too many big wins when i check the the OLG website what i don't understand is some people won't add the extra
