Sorry dudes… The official winnings for tonight were
13 - 24 - 27 - 38 - 43 - 45 - 47
We, together, according to idjit's list, won only 12 free tickets, and 20 bucks.. Eh, maybe on the free tickets we will win. Idjit, purchase more tickets with that 20 dollars also!
Anyway, It was fun. Do it again some time… But thats what the quick pick will get ya, I never purchase them that way.
My count is 4 free tickets and $20.
Don't knock the quick pick. Lots of big winners have used it.
I have won 5/6 twice on 6/49 with quickpicks. Never choose my own anymore…
Oh well, better to be on the inside and have a chance at winning than be on the outside and not to have a chance at all, THAT would hurt!
most of the big prize winners are on quick picks
The prize was carried over, so we'll just get it next week…
I will have the official results of our project tonight when I get home from work (late). I'll post then. I'll be investing again for next week.
You get three free quick picks on 3/7 #s or 3+bonus/7..
Look Here and click on super 7 icon at bottom. It says 3 free quick picks, thats how i got 12. Anyway, I usually pick my own #s so than i know i get a good mix. not 1,3,5,23,45,46,47..
When I ran a group like this for a large company, we allowed people to pick their own numbers if they wanted to- no problem. The way it works is this: if you contribute say, 10 bucks, you could pick 5 sets of numbers (10 bucks worth). I have no problem doing this here, either. Remember though, the actual odds of winning something on 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 is exactly the same as any other combination of numbers… Still, if you want to play certain numbers just send them with your cash before Friday, May 10.
Since the jackpot is carried over (24 million next draw), I will carry over the winnings(), and accept contributions for the 10th. Contact me if you want to contribute and I'll give you my address.

Who do the winning tickets and cash go to? Do you divy them up amongs everyone so than I say have at least one ticket in the draw.. (2 bucks again?) without sending anymore money since it could of been anyones ticket that won…
Same as the first draw. Small prizes and free plays get carried over to the next draw. The winning tickets belong to us all, and if they win big, they are divided up according to each person's contribution. Try to think of it as having 'shares' in a pool of tickets. Incidentally, regarding your other question about picking your own numbers, if you decide to do this, the numbers you pick also belong to us all and any prizes will be divided on the same pro-rated basis. When I get home tonight, I will give you a complete report on what happened on the last draw, and the actual tickets will be 'archived' in my safe at home for a year in case any questions arise.
oK, if we don't win this time ill send a twoonie again for the next draw.
Maybe I am a bit late on this one, as I've not been reading the messages, but quickpicks vs. picking your own numbers. From the research I've done it is something like 20% better odds if you ALWAYS play the same numbers. (sorry I can't remember the exact number) The thing is you have to play every draw for that to work, no skipping out here and there.
