We lost a "playable" game this week when one of the Grand Prizes for Lucky Lines was claimed. That leaves us with #1620 More Lucky Lines as the only "playable" game. There are only 13% of the ticket float left for that game. Next in line are: #1155 $4 Cash for Life and #1591 $2 Banco.
A reminder that my evaluation method is based upon winning the grand prize. If you'd be happy just to win $1000 and you want the best "value" proposition to do so, $3 Keno #1409 is the play for you.
The big seller this past week was the new $3 Deal or No Deal #1694. 15% of the ticket float was sold over the past week - and none of the grand prizes were claimed. With any luck we'll be playing this game soon.
There are five games where all of the grand prizes have been claimed: $2 Golden Ticket, $3 Bingo, $3 Scrabble, $5 Scrabble, and $10 100 Jumbo. Players need to keep on top of this. The OLG is sneaky. Can you imagine how many 649 tickets would be sold if the OLG informed players that the Grand Prize will not be claimed this week? Exactly!
In terms of personal play, I have been taking a beating but it looks like my luck is beginning to change. I bought 5 - $1 Lucky Lines tickets at the loser joint and won with one. It paid $2. I bought another 6 at another establishment winning $12 on a $10 and a $2 winner. In total, $14 return on an $11 investment. That's what I need - keep treading water hoping to get lucky.

Where do you get the info about % tickets sold or remaining?
ReplyDeleteThe remaining ticket information is available from the OLG Web Site.
ReplyDeleteClick on "Lotteries - Instant Games - Instant Unclaimed Prizes".
As for % of tickets sold, I calculate the percentage for the prizes listed on the site and assume that it is the same for the game as a whole. I tested this approach on one particular game and it proved to be accurate.
Appreciate your comment.
