Cash Card #1876 Jumps To The Top

There has been a real shakeup at the top of the standings. There were five different games that lost 2 Grand Prizes since the last update effectively knocking those games down the list. Those games were: Sweet Cash, Cash For Life, Bingo Doubler, Cross Tripler, and Diamond.

The new top rated game only has 16% of its float left to sell which means that they will become tough to find beginning very soon. The game has one - $75,000 Grand Prize left to be claimed. There are roughly 490,000 tickets left to be sold. There is also one $25,000 second prize and one $10,000 third prize left to be claimed. $0.051 of every dollar spent on the game will go to the Grand Prize winner which is very high for a $3 game.

After a long period of $3 games being highly rated it looks like it will be a while before another one reaches the top five. Also of note is the second rated game, Ruby 7's. This game is the fastest selling game currently for sale.

Comings and Goings

Four games have been retired since the last update and none of them will be missed. Those games are: Bingo Doubler, Pac Man Slots, Walking Dead and Hit 100. 

New to the scene are: $1 Donut Dollars, $5 Cross Tripler and $5 Wild Card. Of note is that Donut Dollars begins life as the best $1 or $2 game for sale. That's good news for players who like inexpensive games. 

Personal Play

Three Cash for Life tickets returned nothing, 3 Keno tickets contained 2 winners, each for $5, and three Sweet Cash tickets contained one winner of $3. 

Post Script

Randy was certainly correct in his forecast of the demise of Cash For Life after it surrendered two Grand Prizes: it fell out of the top five all the way down to 22nd. 

Here is an article from Rabble.ca on the subject of the OLG and, more specifically, the Ontario Government : http://rabble.ca/blogs/bloggers/michael-laxer/2016/06/ontario-governments-grotesque-lottery-addiction . It's interesting but one has to remember that a site like Rabble makes no apology for its politics. It's a good counterbalance to the Fraser Institute. 

Good luck to all.
