Cash Card sits on top of the ratings on the strength of a 2.01 ratio of top prizes to top prize money. The problem is that only an estimated 13% of its float remain to be sold. There is only one Grand Prize of $75,000 remains and your chance to find it is 1 in 385,000.
One in every 3.52 tickets is a winner and one in 7.47 is a winner of more than $3. The game also features a high 6.8% of total revenue returned to players winning $100 or more. That is very high.

Comings and Goings
High Roller and Quest For Gold Crossword were retired since the last update. QFG was a dog almost throughout its entire run and will not be missed. High Roller was a good choice and was retired with 2 of its 8 Grand Prizes left and 18% of its float. I would have liked to have seen the game left alone a bit longer given that there are only 85 million total tickets for sale in the province.
New to the family is a new $500 Frenzy. This is a game that my formula does not rate highly but it is a perfectly good choice for people who want plentiful prizes and no large prizes. A poster has already claimed one of the 6,452 Grand Prizes.
Personal Play
Six Platinum tickets contained two winners of $70. A winning week? The gods must be smiling upon me.
Post Script
First off we have a story about a lottery group participant who tried to cheat his Tim Horton's buddies: http://on.thestar.com/2bBle3v . I'd have a hard time forgiving him.
And a story from the Ottawa Citizen about what is going on at the Rideau Carlton Raceway: http://bit.ly/2b4OSPl . If anyone can decipher the gobbly-gook that the OLG says, please let me know. All I know is that they're not happy with the hand that the local politicians have dealt them.
Best of luck to all.
Doug
