Turbo Cash #1713 is an Outstanding Play

I'm back from my trip to Dubai and London and not much has changed - but things have improved! No Turbo Cash tickets were cashed since my departure. All three Grand Prizes of $250,000 remain to be claimed and only 53% of the tickets remain to be sold. I know that $10 is a steep price for a ticket but it is rare that a game tilts as much as this one has in favour of the player.

Best $1-$2 play - Snow Globe #1727
Best $3-$5 play - Ontario Millions #1683



Daily ticket sales are ramping up as the Christmas Season approaches averaging more than 700,000 over the past 17 days. The big seller is $3 Crossword #1299 which is averaging almost 200,000 daily from its jumbo float of over 20 million tickets.

The best $1000 value play remains good old Keno #1409. This game has less than 20% of its ticket float left to sell. For pure odds to win a Grand Prize, buy Cross Tripler #1703. In that game you have a 98,000:1 chance to win $100,000 for a $5 investment.

The only game left to avoid like the plague is $2 Golden Goose. All the Grand Prizes have been claimed and 36% of its tickets remain to be sold so we will likely see it remain in play for a while. If you're looking for stocking stuffers, buy $2 Snow Globe #1727 instead.

Comings and Goings
OLG mercifully retired the $1 Cross Express since my last update. All its Grand Prices had been claimed long ago. Twelve percent of its ticket float remained when its plug was pulled. The $10 Gold Tripler was also retired even though 1 of its 3 - $500,000 prizes remained outstanding and 18% of its ticket float left. I don't like that.

New games include $3 Frogger #1718, $5 Instant Multiplier #1692, and $10 Instant Gift Pack #1919. Your chances of winning anything more than what you paid for the new games are: Frogger 1:7.41, Money Multiplier 1:6.60, Gift Pack 1:5.24. The Gift Pack is an interesting game as it includes five tickets with low Grand Prize amounts for each. Instead, the OLG is spreading the wealth around with more small wins than what you would normally see. It must be Christmas!

Personal Play
Two Turbo Cash tickets returned zilch three weeks ago. I am going to expand my play this week in recognition of my forced hiatus and the favourable odds. Frank from Scarborough reports 0 for 7 on Cross Tripler (there are two of those games currently in play. Fortunately for Frank there is not much to choose between the two games). Jay from Scarborough has branched out buying a variety of tickets. This lack of discipline is not recommended but it does represent a reinvestment of his Pro-Line winnings so his brashness is forgiven.

Over the past three weeks, prizes of $50,000 or more were claimed in: Burlington, Timmins, Corbeil, Aurora, Ottawa (2), Lyndhurst, Hamilton (2), London, York, Cambridge, Port Colborne, Schreiber, and Toronto. Nice to see some secondary markets getting rewarded but only one winner from Toronto? What's up with that?

Good Luck
Doug
