Oooo, how exciting!

Wait, is that Canadian dollars?

How high does it get? Is that really high? The Mega Millions in NY State (runs in several other states, too) often goes over $200 MM USD.

Get your lucky numbers here.

Anybody got a stats pack to check if this fits the Poisson distribution? Hint: most lotteries don't and there is an edge to playing the bias.

That's high-ish for a jackpot. The jackpots definitely aren't as big as the mega-lottos in the states but they're big enough to cause excitment. I wouldn't turn down 32 million.

I always get quick-picks. I dunno if this is a good idea or not but whatever.

I'll bet anyone $10,000 I lose.
