Talk:Lotto Super 7

The prize structure must be wrong. How can 5/7 numbers pay more than 6/7 numbers? A decimal point got lost - I've seen this on other sites (sympatico's lottery information) so it a copying error.
 * The figures are correct. Remember that this represents the share of the pool received by these winners. There are far more people who get 5/7 numbers than 6/7 (ratio is approximately 60:1), so the individual payouts are roughly 60:1 in favour of those who chose more correct numbers.
 * For example, assuming a $20 million pool and 10 million tickets sold (and with winners exactly matching the probabilities listed), we get:

Seven-number lottery games, outside of "keno", usually don't seem popular. Why not a powerball/Mega Millions-type game in Canada? I think it would go over well, especially if matching only the "mega ball" wins a prize. 207.210.134.83 (talk) 15:57, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

"Drawn every Friday night, it has become a staple of Canadian lottery players." This statement seems pretty POV. What does "staple" mean? Also I could have sworn that there was info on this page that stated how the numbers are picked. That info seems to be gone. Anyone know why?174.6.130.25 (talk) 11:16, 21 June 2009 (UTC)BeeCier
