Stay Tuned - Our Lotto Max Analysis to be Published Next Week

Tickets for the new Canadian Lotto Max lottery will go on sale beginning Saturday, September 19th 2009 and the first drawing will be held the following Friday (September 25th).

This new lottery replaces Super 7 which will be retired after the Friday Sept 18 drawing.

Essentially, Lotto Max is a weekly game nearly identical to Super 7. To win, the player must successfully match 7 balls. However, the major differences are that: the number of white balls increased to 49; jackpots begin at C$10 million; tickets cost C$5 for three; the jackpot is capped at C$50M; and above $C50M, additional MAXMILLION C$1 million drawings will be conducted for each million above the C$50M threshold.

In the spirit of offering our players the most comprehensive information, we are preparing a new Blog Post comparing Lotto Max to the old Super 7 and Lotto 649. We believe this is important because the cost of tickets and the chances of actually winning have substantially increased.

While many news releases are currently circulating about this new game, we have found little definitive opinions about whether you should or should not purchase tickets and play it.

We anticipate publishing our analysis by the end of next week so stay tuned!
