The $60 million Lotto Max jackpot for the February 3 draw was not won and is capped at $60 million plus an estimated 26 Maxmillions for the next draw. Four of the 13 Maxmillions were won. Sales of $58.1 million were 49% higher than average and 19% higher than the previous draw. There was a 67% chance the jackpot would not be won, a 27% chance of 1 winning ticket and a 6% chance of 2 or more winners. The payout was above average at 63%. The jackpot and Maxmillions were under funded from sales by $1 million. This was due to an error in calculating the number of Maxmillions awarded and carried forward from the January 27 draw.

Is it just me or do they have errors pretty often. Does that seem weird to anyone else? Like this can't be that complex for people who do it as a full time job.

I think part of the problem is the errors go completely undetected and therefore the persons making them do not get replaced or demoted. When I worked for OLG, I reported a problem regarding the size of the Lottario rollover jackpot. The person at the other end kept trying to "teach" me how the game worked and how rollovers worked. It took a large effort on my part to both convince them I knew what I was talking about and an error had been made. A combination of arrogance and strong job security does not produce good employees.Originally posted by ExtraSlow
