This goes against what a lottery is supposed to be. This is a raffle, not a lottery. Lotteries worldwide are about matching numbers. With this change, the real lottery is relegated to a secondary jackpot, while the main jackpot can only be won on a raffle. Lotteries have always been a tax on the stupid, but I admit I do buy lottery tickets sometimes. There is something fun about checking if your numbers match the winning numbers. That is almost gone with this change.

"You need 10 numbers to match the gold ball." That's irrelevant. They could have made it 100 digits long... It doesn't matter. It's a raffle. The odds of PICKING the winning number in the CLASSIC DRAW are 1 in 14 million. That never changes. The prize money you get depends on how many people picked the same winning number. A winner is not guaranteed for the CLASSIC DRAW. And, even if there is no winner, the prize money does not go up with each draw. The odds of HAVING the winning number in the GOLD DRAW depends on the number of tickets sold in total. If only ten tickets are sold, your odds of winning a prize are 1 in 10. If 30 million tickets are sold, the odds of winning the prize are 1 in 30 million. There is ALWAYS a winner for the GOLD DRAW. The prize money you get in the GOLD DRAW depends on whether a white ball or a gold ball drops from the cage. The prize money goes up with each draw. Hope that makes sense..

I am convinced that the reason that they made the change was because the jackpot was won too often. The lottery corporations made the big jackpot harder to win, therefore it would grow larger. They figure that a larger jackpot will generate more ticket sales, therefore they make more money. They used say "Know your limit, play within it". Not anymore, because they keep trying to get us to spend more money. I know my limit, and I have to keep adjusting every time they mess with the lotteries. Now they say "Use your GameSense". My spin is "Lotteries, making cents of your dollars". I preferred Lotto 649 when it was only $1 a play. Winning $10 on a $1 play, good. Winning $10 on a $3 play, not as good. I used to buy a 7-number combination. If I matched 3 numbers, then I won $40. $40 on a $7 ticket, good. $40 on a $21 ticket, not good. I used to have a subscription and play every draw. Not anymore. If my memory is correct, I won more money matching 4 numbers with a $1 play than after they increased the price. Some may think that Lotto 649 sales are down because Lotto MAX has bigger jackpots, but I think that it is in large part due to the price increases. Triple the price means that people can only buy a third as many tickets with their budget. What is wrong with a smaller jackpot that people win more often? What is wrong with players matching 3 numbers and winning $10 on a $1 play. When Lotto 649 was $1 a play, we would buy group tickets at $10M. Before Gold Ball at $3 a play, we would buy group tickets at $20M. Now with Gold Ball, I wouldn't consider playing for less than a $50M jackpot. I did a few calculations, using jackpot, odds, and cost. $10M at $1 = 0.72 $20M pre-Gold-Ball at $3 plus $1M guaranteed = 0.52 (I'm using the number of free plays won to estimate the number of plays for each draw.) $50M Gold Ball at $3, plus $5M Classic, plus $1M white ball = 0.44 assuming 6.2M plays. (6.2M plays is my estimated median of the number of plays for Lotto MAX when the jackpot was exactly $50M) Lotto MAX w $50M jackpot @ $5/play = 0.30

If they want to enhance something, maybe BCLC should replace the Extra with a straight 50/50 draw. There would be a guaranteed winner every time and a big plus would be that they wouldn't be printing the number on your ticket when you say "NO". I've hated the Extra ever since they introduced it, and they were running the commercials taunting someone that said no but would have won if they had said yes. Sales tactics using fear is not a good policy. They don't run those commercials anymore, but they still print the number on your ticket if you say no. I think that the fear is still working on a lot of people. All it should say on the ticket is "No Extra".

The Random Number Generator returns a integer between 1 and 5,067,115. If the RNG returns 1,004,333 , then the 1,004,333rd number in the list is the winner.

I also wonder how they generate the 10-digit winning number. It seems to me that there can't be a direct correlation between generating a random number on a computer and the 10-digit number. The last two digits after the hyphen would rule that out. Also, there would be gaps in the first 8 digits between the different lottery corporations. It would take a lot of repetitions to randomly generate numbers until there was a match. A possible method would be to enter all 10-digit numbers issued nation-wide in a table. Generate a random number based on the size of the table, then index the result to the winning 10-digit number.

They don't need to 'generate' the ten digit number. How it works: They sell 10 tickets. 1111111111 2222222222 3333333333 4444444444 And so on. Step 1: These numbers are entered into a "spreadsheet" next to a column that assigns them a number from 1 to 10. The RNG It doesn't need to generate a 10-digit number. It only needs to generate a random number between 1 and 10. Say it generates the number 3. Ticket 3333333333 is the winner. It really doesn't matter whether the gold ball number is 10 or 100 digits long. It only matters HOW MANY are sold. Step 2: Each of the white balls is assigned a number from 1 to 29, and the gold ball gets the number 30. Another RNG generates a random number from 1 to 30 to determine whether the prize is the white ball ($1 million) or the gold ball (The big pot). It's pretty easy, but you can see why the gold ball part has to be done by computer. You'd need a ball for every tickets sold, i.e. millions of balls. The 649 part of the draw though only needs the 49 balls.

With traditional jackpots the chances of winning are the same for every draw regardless of how many plays there are. With the Gold Ball number there is only one match. The more plays sold, the worse your odds of matching the Gold Ball number As the Gold Ball jackpot increases, more plays are sold and your chance of matching the Gold Ball number go down. When they have a Super Draw more plays are sold, and your chance of matching the Gold Ball number drops dramatically. Then to win the Gold Ball jackpot, the gold ball actually has to be drawn. In this case, as the jackpot goes up, the number of balls goes down and the chance of the gold ball being drawn go up. So your chances of winning the Gold Ball jackpot is a factor of how many plays are sold and how many balls are in the draw. By my records and calculations, out of the first 49 draws, the best chance of winning the Gold Ball jackpot was one in approximately 67,000,000 on Sat 2023-Jan-07. The gold ball was drawn with a $48M jackpot (11 balls).

It'll take about 19 years for anyone to collect the $7 million by taking $1k a day and 19 years later, that $7 million would be worth a lot less than now. $7 million now is worth a lot less than even just 3 years ago with the rising high inflation. Hence, might as well treat the $7 million like a cap. I don't remember a single person, who's won the Daily Grand, taking the $1k a month (nor would I if I won it).

If we estimate the number of plays in a Lotto 649 draw by multiplying the free plays won by 8.328905566, then the odds of winning the Gold Ball jackpot were only better than Lotto MAX with 4 balls or less. 2023-Apr-12 .. $62,000,000 .. 4 balls .. est approx 7,991,876 plays = odds 1 in 31,967,506 2023-Apr-15 .. $64,000,000 .. 3 balls .. est approx 8,106,915 plays = odds 1 in 24,320,746

So if you get 6 out of 6 you don’t get the whole prize… you get 5 million… that sounds like a scam to me

@@Alan20888 I don't even understand what you're talking about. They balls are drawn and then the selected numbers that were drawn are entered into a computer to find out the results of the draw. I realize the guaranteed tickets are selected randomly on a computer but the white and gold balls are still drawn. What are you talking about?

Why not just take all the revenue from the tickets sold in the week then the B.C. government takes its' slice of the pie and then divides the rest of the money into 1/2 million dollar prizes. I don't know about everyone else but I'd be happy with 1/2 million. This way there are lots and lots of winners and more and more people buying tickets.

It was better the way it was... NOW there are never any guaranteed big winners like there used to be. Making people win a chance to win the jackpot is kind of irrational. What else should we expect from the kind of people governments hire these days. IT'S HARD ENOUGH TO WIN THE JACKPOT IN ANY LOTTERY. BUT TO TAKE THE MAIN PRIZE AND MAKE SOMEONE TRY TO WIN IT TWICE SHOULD BE CRIMINAL. IT'S GROSS TO SAY THE LEAST.

What a scam . So then your regular 6 number draw is always 5 million ! And the number you see as the jackpot on store fronts is the gold ball. These scumbags . And who else knew they added a digit to lotto max therefore decreasing the odds.

You have to win 10 numbers now so no one wins. Firstly the gold draw has to be drawn. Not a good idea to buy 649 better off buying lotto Max. This way only the house wins ,no winnings for the 16 draws counting

I guess it depends on how you look at it. If you are only comparing the odds of winning the Gold Ball jackpot versus the odds of winning the Lotto MAX jackpot, then maybe. On the Wed 2023-Apr-12 draw with only 4 balls there may be a chance that the odds of winning the Gold Ball jackpot are greater than the odds of winning a Lotto MAX jackpot ... but maybe not. Maybe 3 balls?

$10,000 guaranteed prize for 1000 player every Saturday draw, that's is good things to helping BC players. Because everytime they draw mostly in other provinces winning. BC players should get the guaranteed prize. Canada Lotto earning trillion dollars from lottery tickets. They should be kind and shares the funds.

I don't like how they're changing 649, but they're doing it in terms of selling more 649 tickets cause it hasn't been selling much anymore cause of the smaller jackpots now (as it doesn't really grow big anymore) and the Max's big jackpots taking over 649 sales. I don't really play 649 anymore (unless the jackpot grows to $30 million or more which rarely ever happens), but I do play the Max with groups once it hits $50 million or more. Your idea is way worst than theirs though. The objective of any organization is to maximize revenue/profits. With smaller jackpots like you're suggesting ($10k), they're guarantee to sell a lot lot less tickets so sorry to say, but your suggestion will hurt them from a business standpoint. Lotteries always sells best when the jackpots are huge and that is fact.

@iqbokci Do you research everyday gamble spend on lottery tickets? Average $5 million to $10 million/ day per province or City on each different ticket, which just selling Lotto number and scratches paper. That's not even include Loto Max or other game. Do you really think lottery industry going bankrupt? Never, I saw a lot people spending more than $20 or more and get nothing. The lottery industry they profit billion billion every day. Casino, scratch tickets, lottery tickets.... Don't ever thinking they out of money. They can picachu magical in 1 month no winner. Money pumping unstoppable.

@@whatareyou1679 I don't think you actually did your research nor do you understand what I was talking about. I did not say the lottery corps are going bankrupt or even losing money. Instead, I said all organizations try to maximize their revenues/profits. That's maximize. Your suggestion is guaranteed to cost the lottery corps a lot of revenues/profits because of the much smaller jackpots, which leads to a lot less ticket sales. It's a stupid suggestion for a business model. Look at the data yourself instead of telling someone to do their research (cause you obviously have not done actual research). It's not a secret that ticket sales goes up more and more for pretty much every lottery around the planet when the jackpots get bigger and bigger. Do you know how many Canadians actually went across the border to buy Powerball tickets when that jackpot went over $1 billion? I'm pretty sure very few did that when the jackpot was a measly $20 million. I'll edit this later and actually provide you reference links on data showing that ticket sales go higher and higher when lotto jackpots get bigger ang bigger. I don't have time right now to do that. I'll do it later. But, just look at the numbers for the Max when the jackpot is $10 million vs $70 million or when it's $20 million vs $40 million. Even though the lottery corps don't really give out the number of tickets sold, you can figure it out (sort of). You'll see the number of prizes given out for $5 winners or $20 winners are always much higher on a $70 million jackpot than the number of prizes given out for these amounts on a $10 million jackpot. This is consistent for 649, Powerball, Megamillions, Euromillions, etc.. If you don't believe me, then call BCLC and request for the information. Instead of telling people to do research, you really ought to do some actual research yourself.

@@baiqi44 I would play Lotto 649 when the jackpot was $20M. A lot of people got sucked in by Lotto MAX, me included. The truth is the odds with Lotto MAX are horrible, that's why the jackpot grows to $50M so often. It's irrelevant now but after this latest change to Lotto 649 I did a few calculations based on jackpots, odds, and cost. Playing a $3 Lotto 649 on a draw with a $20M jackpot and a $1M guaranteed prize ranked 0.52, while a playing a $5 Lotto MAX on a $50M jackpot with 2 maxmillions ranked 0.31. I have now changed my Lotto MAX target to $70M. I wouldn't consider playing Lotto 649 for less than a $50M Gold Ball jackpot (10 balls in the Gold Ball draw).
