Jacks are Wild #1701 Takes Over Top Spot

Apologies for the delay in updating the blog. A vacation trying to win money in Saratoga betting horses proved fruitless for the umpteenth time in a row.

It's been 22 days since the last update and we have a new game to play - Jacks are Wild. Cash for Life #1155 had one of its two remaining top prizes claimed moving it into unplayable status. Jacks are Wild has 5 of its 6 $100,000 prizes left and has sold 54% of its tickets. You have a 1 in 300,000 chance to win $100,000 with a $5 investment. Here's hoping that the game remains playable as there is no other game close to being a good choice at the moment.

Keno #1409 remains the game with the best value chance to win $1000 or more. The biggest selling game is the Crossword #1298. There are, at present, 3 Crossword games in play. The other two are on their last legs and should be canceled soon by OLG. The new game has a massive float of over 20 million tickets. The OLG is currently selling over 500,000 Scratch and Win Tickets daily of which almost 140,000 are for this version of Crossword. All 16 Grand Prizes of  $50,000 remain after selling 16% of the tickets. Maybe this will become a future play for blog readers.

Five new games have been introduced over the past three weeks. One of them is brand new and OLG has yet to post game details. For the other four, I like to calculate what percentage of winning tickets net more than the cost of the ticket. Somehow OLG has convinced us that getting ones money back is a form of winning. This principle is at its worst in penny slots where players play 80 cents per pull, win 20, and the machine rings like the person was a winner. How crazy is that?

Here is the breakdown of the new games:

$3 Luck Dragon Doubler - 42% of winning tickets are for $3.
$4 Cash For Life - 35% of winning tickets are for $4.
$5 Cash Lines - 51% of winning tickets are for $5.
$10 Extravaganza - 39% of winning tickets are for $10.
