Jacks are Wild #1701 - Damaged but Still #1

A lucky visitor from Boucherville, Quebec claimed one of the Jacks are Wild grand prizes last week. Regardless, the game remains the best choice albeit somewhat diminished from last week. Players have a 323,000:1 chance to win $100,000 with a $5 investment. Other recommended games are $3 Keno #1409 and $3 Bingo #3007.

Games to avoid are: $10.00 Classic Black #1697, $3.00 Lucky Dragon #1708 and $3.00 More Lucky #1651. The OLG should be ashamed to continue to sell Classic Black tickets. All six of the grand prizes have been claimed yet they sold 130,000 tickets over the course of the week. The problem they face is that 60% of the ticket float remains to be claimed. The game is a loser for them. The best strategy, from their perspective, is to continue to pump the tickets. Your strategy is to avoid the game like the plague.

The big seller continues to be the $3.00 Crossword #1298. With a ticket float of over 20 million, the tickets will be predominantly displayed where you play. To date, 24% of the tickets have been sold and only 1 of the 16 grand prizes has been claimed. This game may get interesting. The best chance at winning $1000 (or more) continues to be $3.00 Keno #1409 although the $2.00 Golden Goose #1700 is sneaking up on the long time king of this evaluation method.

Comings and Goings

We said goodbye to MultiMult, one of the Cash for Life games and one of the Crossword games. No loss there. New games include the $3.00 Scrabble #1702 and the $1.00 Fast 100 #1688. The latter is a novel game based upon the premise of a small grand prize but offering many of them. There are over 3700, $100 prizes in the game but nothing larger. If you play this game, pray that you don't get a $30 winner. The odds of getting that prize are 10,000:1 whereas the odds of winning $100 are 800:1. You don't want to use up your luck that way. It's a bit upside down but the goal of the game is to maximize the number of $100 prizes, as indicated by the name of the game.

Personal Play

Four Jacks are Wild tickets last week contained one $10 winner. That is a .50 ROI (Return on Investment) - less than expected. I will be henceforth reporting on my personal play on a weekly and accumulated basis.

Good Luck to all.
