Jacks are Wild made it through the week selling another 4% of its ticket float without losing a Grand Prize. At this point in time, 36% of the tickets remain to be sold and 4 of the 6 Grand Prizes of $100,000 are still out there somewhere. The next best games are Keno #1409 and Crossword #1298 (not the much worse #1297).
Determining which is the "best" game to play can have more than one interpretation. For the main purpose of this blog, it is the percentage of Grand Prizes that remain versus the percentage of tickets that remain to be sold. I'm assuming that we all play the games with the goal to win the grand prize. I also look at the best value chance to win $1000 or more. This evaluation takes into account the cost of the ticket. If one buys a $5 ticket, one would expect to have a better chance to win $1000 then if one bought a $2 ticket, but is it a better play after taking into consideration the cost of the ticket? I also look at the absolute chances of winning the grand prize. Each of these evaluations can produce different recommendations.
What is more straight forward is games to avoid playing. At present, four games are in play for which all of the grand prizes have been claimed. They are: $2 Crazy Eights #1699, $3 Horseshoes #1705, $3 More Lucky #1651, and $10 Classic Black #1697. The OLG has a big problem with the latter. They're selling $10 tickets for a game where all of the $500,000 prizes have been claimed. In fact, 60% of the ticket float remains to be sold. Buyer beware. The OLG sold 140,000 tickets for these games last week. Make sure that you're not in that group.
The best $1000 Value Play remains Keno #1409. This game is also the second rated game to win the grand prize. If it's instant gratification you're after then the $5 Instant 649 is a good play. The odds of winning $100,000 are 56,000:1. What you give up is the chances to win smaller prizes; there are very few as compared to other games.
Comings and Goings
No departures, one addition this week. The $1 BingoExpress was introduced. Details of the game have yet to be posted.
Two Grand Prizes were claimed this week. Bingo #3007 had a $50,000 winner in Aurora and Super Bingo #3010 had a $50,000 prize claimed in Amherstburg.
Personal Play
A wipe out week. Four Jacks are Wild tickets played, no winners. I'm now 1 for 8 with an ROI of .25 for this game. I'm due!
