All tickets are scanned and uploaded to the website. The link is emailed to all members prior to the draw.

The cost to join all 10 regular groups for just the October 25 Lotto Max draw is now only $42. The cost reduces as more members join the groups.

Good luck.

[Mario38]

The groups bought 214 tickets ($1,070) for the October 25 Lotto Max draw. Copies of the tickets have been emailed to all members. New members can still join one or more groups. We just will not be buying more tickets. As more members join, the cost to join will simply go down. As the number of Maxmillions prizes increase with each draw, so will the number of tickets we buy.

Good luck.

Mario, if I buy a 6/49 ticket plus BC 6/49 and BC extra and win something at BCLC, can I claim it at an Alberta retailer?

No, the ticket has to be claimed in BC. Each jurisdiction in Canada have their own separate computer systems and they do not share information.

The same is true in the US. It would be an easy problem to solve but I think they do not have enough demand to offer a solution.

Any winning has to be claimed in the same jurisdiction that the ticket was purchased in.

It seems like your promoting your business through this thread; however, cruising your site and the R1 category, correct me if I am wrong, but nothing spectacular in there in the WON column?

I am not running a business. Just a hobby that I allow others to partake in.

Yes, that is correct, we have not won anything big recently. Playing the lottery is not a sure thing but if we ever hit, it will be sweet.

If one chooses to play the lottery, then group play is by far the best option. If someone does not normally play the lottery, then I am the last person to suggest they start playing just because they have the opportunity to join a group.

Good luck.
