I'm going to have Securicor deliver 500 new fives to my house every day. The next day they will take the marked bills and bring me 500 more.
Except when I'm on vacation; (300 days of the year) then, with my new laptop, I'll travel across Canada marking bills as I go. I'll hire someone to do the 500 bills/day bit at home.
you have big dreams! you see I am the one that is going to win that money, but I like your idea, I think I might just have to do that. Will you be the person to do it at home for me?:)
You must be joking! My ticket is so lucky, it glows in the dark! I'm going to be the winner…
I could hire you though- great benefits, top-notch equipment to use, whadyer say?
I say that glow in the dark ticked is kids stuff:) I have the good one in my pocket, I know it's the winner it's just jummping to get me get the money.
How about one of you hires me for some crazy salary to simply run, maintain, and update this site non-stop. That'd be mega cool.

your hired! If I win which I will.
New to lotteries. Which has the best odds, 6/49 or Super 7?
They're both equal; your odds: pitiful… my odds: even worse. :)
-dr
you bet
The odds of winning 6/49 is 1:13 million, the odds for Super 7 is less.
To put this in prospective, assuming only 25 million people in Canada, if they drew 6/49 everyday instead of 2 times a week, it would take over 6,800 years for everyone in Canada to win one time.
649-1:13,983,816
Super 7- 1:20,963,833
I get 1 in 432940000000. 69 x 68 x 67 x 66 x 65 x 64 x 63.. You pick one # out of 69, than only have 68 left to chose from. than 67, 66, 65, 64, 63. They have the same odds of picking the #. Thats how many combinations there is…
432940000000
They may not pick a number that is purchased, then the NHL is standing at their backdoor looking for $$$. LOL
I'm not sure with Super 7… Don't play it.
Pretty phenomenal. My wife won a Jaguar 5 years ago. Bought a $35 ticket on a whim… and won.
Wow, a Jag!
What was the value on that? And did you keep it?
(a shrink driving a Jag…. can you say "pretentious"? I knew you could!)
When I was going to university, there was a $20 Christmas ticket. It came in a plastic pouch that had a scratch game on the front. Whoever bought the ticket removed the ticket from the pouch and threw the pouch away without scratching it. I came along, slipped on the pouch in the snow, and fell. I picked up the pouch, scratched the game and won a free ticket. The free ticket later won $500.00.
I've never won anything really major. But a few little things.
You remember the $1,000 I won thru Canadian Tire in November? Won a VCR many years ago in one of those home lotteries.
And when the local building contractors had a home show, I won a washer and dryer. What was funny about that one was that my neighbour is a radio DJ, and he was the one who did the draw on the air. He was ALMOST speechless.
Oh, and a couple of summers ago, I was going into a local golf shop. There is a radio remote setup in the store, and as I am in there, the DJ says that he has a prize for the first person to walk in with a driver. So I run out to the truck, my clubs are in the back, and walk in with a driver. Won a shag bag and it was full of golf balls. Probably worth about $250-300. It was about 10 minutes before other people started walking in with their drivers! lol!
Now to check my tickets and see what I won tonight.
I've never won a thing. I could say, 'my wife' in a poker game. Makes for a good story. She sold the jag and spent the 90000 dollars. She offered to buy me a Rolex watch but my 'timex' does a good job. I grew up in a small town. The person that seemed to always win the turkey bingo had the biggest bank account. I remain puzzled and scarred to this day. A metaphor for life.
Who?
No one- it was carried over. So I'll get 22 million next Friday. I really don't mind waiting another week 22 million bucks is 4,400,000 fives. I might have to order a heavy-duty stamp…
no winner
I'm going to buy a ticket. If I win, the regular users on this site are going to get a cut of the pie.
Equal share to all, or based on CMT score? :-)
Or perhaps something more esoteric? Like who tickles your funny bone the most?
I haven't been able to figure out CMT yet so I avoid it. Perhaps it's too concrete. Incidentally, went to IMAX today and saw "Bears" and "Exploring Caves". Both good but the latter was breathtaking. Made me long for my youth.
