Canadians Lining Up for Record Lotto Max Jackpot

A record $95 million dollars in jackpot money has Canadian lottery players lining up at lottery retailers across Canada. Canadian lottery players are trying to snap up tickets before the deadline. The Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corp is holding drawings for a $50 million dollar Lotto Max jackpot and 45 Maxmillion drawings worth $1 million dollars each. Even in the far north lottery players are lining up and the lines are long. Several television stations have shown lines extending out the doors of some lottery retailers as Canadian players wait patiently for their turn for a shot at one or more of the huge jackpots. The odds of winning the $50 million dollar jackpot are about one in 28 million and the odds of winning one of the $1 million dollar jackpots is about one in 623,000. A spokesperson for the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corp said that sales are up more than one third from last week’s sales.

Some lottery retailers are reporting that the record jackpots have brought many new lottery players who have never played before and have no idea how to fill out the lottery slips. One Toronto convenience store owner stated, “They’ve never played before. They don’t know how to play; I have to explain to them how many numbers go in each box.” One former lottery winner has offered potential winners some good advice. Lottery winner Donald MacDonald says that lottery winners should be careful with their winnings. MacDonald stated, “Try not to change your way of life. Just live the same life, have the same friends, do the same things, don’t try to change everything.” The 78 year old winner also said, “If you change everything you’re going to miss a lot along the way, I think.” MacDonald, who is a retired Canadian Pacific Railway treasury department employee, won $10 million dollars in March 2010.

There will be millions of Canadian lottery players eagerly awaiting the results of the LottoMax drawing. There are several places players can check for the latest results. For those with an internet connection the best place to check the LottoMax drawing results is at the official Lottery Canada website. The results of the latest drawing will be posted seconds after the final results are known. Unfortunately LottoMax does not sell online lottery tickets so players are stuck with waiting in lines at lottery retailers. Friday’s drawing promises to be one of the most exciting in Canadian lottery history!

Real World Roulette Facts You Need to Know

April 26, 2019   Game guide   No comments

Did you know that not all Roulette games in the casino are created equal? How about that the game’s mechanics can change as you are playing? Yes, it’s true. If you’re going to play Roulette in the real world, there are some facts you need to know.

Walk around any Las Vegas casino and take a look at the Roulette tables. What’s the one thing that immediately stands out? Think for a minute. Got it? A different person is operating each Roulette game. So why does this matter?

It’s the dealer who spins the ball around the wheel. In the old days-and today in some lower-end casinos-the dealer would also spin the wheel. Today, it’s usually a machine that keeps the wheel going at a certain speed.

However, there isn’t a machine that spins the ball. This means that the ball is speeding along at a different pace for each dealer. If you play more than 40 minutes to an hour, you’ll also experience a dealer change and thus a change in the ball speed and outcome.

I have seen some people who can get to know a dealer’s pattern-since most dealer’s spin the same way all the time-and figure out what section of the wheel the ball is about to drop into by look at where the wheel was when the dealer started the spin.

Here’s another factor you need to think about. Unlike online casinos, the real world casinos use physical items. That wheel is a physical item that was manufactured. While they all have the same specifications, they are all a little different. Also as they are used, they tend to shift slightly-we’re talking physics here.

There was a famous Roulette team in Las Vegas that once made a living by charting the wheels. They’d watch lots of games and figure out if the wheel had any tilt, warping, etc. They’d also pay attention to the dealers-spin rate, etc. By putting those combinations together with a solid playing style and a little luck, they were able to rock n roll at the Roulette tables in Vegas.

Will knowing all of this make you a guaranteed winner in Vegas? No. But, it can help you score more wins and that just might make your playing time more enjoyable. And who knows. You may walk out of the casino a big winner. It’s a war zone out there. You have to utilize every piece of information that might give you an edge as you can.
