The M groups won $5,273 and 136 free tickets in the October 9 Lotto Max draw for a total value of $5,953. A Group M23 ticket matched 6 numbers out of 7 and won $4,555.30.
The $70 million Lotto Max jackpot for the October 9 draw was won - one winning ticket sold in Quebec. Five of the 19 Maxmillions were won. Weekly sales of $95.5 million were 132% higher than average and 35% higher than the previous week. Based on draw sales of $56.7 million, there was a 71% chance the jackpot would not be won, a 24% chance of 1 winning ticket and a 5% chance of 2 or more winners. The expected value was above average at 65%. The jackpot and Maxmillions were over funded from sales by $0.2 million, but rather than fund another Maxmillion, the money was added to the second tier prize category.

Mario's Lottery Groups
Just curious how many members are in on this? And why?
What are the chances of you actually winning anything substantial?...his website says $192,000 won since a year ago, but how much of that goes to each individual player?
His beyond thread was started in 2013...7 years, you'd think with all those tickets bought something big would've been won by now?
Am I being way too skeptical?....I assume his groups are not the only one that does this, and I assume he makes some sort of money for his time so is that just it? It's a good way to make some extra money on the side organizing these?

There's a reason so many members on here have Trackhawks....

I'm in some of his groups, but certainly not all. Here's how I look at it.Originally Posted by JohnnyHockey13

1) "expected value" of playing the lottery over time is negative
2) I view this as an entertainment expense
3) I prefer group plays on large jackpots because it maximizes my odds of wining "a big amount". I'd rather have 10x the odds to win $1 million than 1x the odds to win 10 million. Ya know?
4) most lottery players don't win a large prize in their entire lifetimes.

It is confusing to have two threads with the identical title.
If anyone has any questions about my lottery groups, please post is this thread. I am happy to answer any question.

A lot more shares have been added to Group S33 since buying tickets for tonight's U$180 million Powerball draw. Now it looks like we will not hit the target win of C$1 million per share even for the December 5 Powerball draw. For tonight's draw, each share can win C$0.9 million.
I have a new and interesting plan for future draws. The new plan depends upon what happens in tonight's Powerball draw and therefore it will be announced after the draw.
Nonetheless, I am still accepting new shares in Group S33 at $20 each.

Group S45 is open to new shares at a cost of $20 per share.
Group S45 plans to buy 300 tickets for the December 8 Euro Millions draw. The jackpot is an estimated £180 million (C$309 million) after 11 rolls. The jackpot has reached its cap. All the money normally used to fund the jackpot will be added to the second tier prize. The second tier prize is on average about £130,000. For the next draw, it is expected to be well over £1 million.

The Euro Millions draw is in about 2 hours. Still time to join Group S45. Even though the group has reached 150 shares, each share can still win over C$2 million if the group wins the jackpot.
The jackpot has reached the cap and it is only the second time in the history of the game the jackpot has been this large.

Group S33 plans to buy 100 Mega Millions tickets for the December 11 draw. The Mega Millions jackpot is an estimated U$212 million after 24 rolls – position 36 in the list of the largest ever US jackpots. Each share can win C$1 million after taxes.
The above plan is dependent upon what happens in the December 9 Powerball draw. If the Powerball jackpot rolls, then Group S33 will instead buy 125 tickets for the December 12 Powerball draw. The Powerball jackpot will be close to U$213 million.

Group S33 plans to buy 200 Mega Millions tickets for the December 18 draw. The Mega Millions jackpot is an estimated U$238 million after 26 rolls – position 31 in the list of the largest ever US jackpots. Each share can win C$1.09 million after taxes.
The above plan is dependent upon what happens in the December 16 Powerball draw. If the Powerball jackpot rolls, then Group S33 will instead buy 225 tickets for the December 19 Powerball draw. The Powerball jackpot will be close to U$235 million. The Powerball jackpot has better odds than Mega Millions and justifies playing for a slightly smaller jackpot.
