The Lotto 6/49 is one of three national lottery games in Canada and was launched on June 12, 1982. Lotto 6/49 was the first nationwide Canadian lottery game to allow players to choose their own numbers. Previous national games, including the Olympic Lottery, Loto Canada and Superloto used pre-printed numbers on tickets. Lotto 6/49 led to the gradual phase-out of that type of lottery game in Canada.
Winning numbers are drawn by the Interprovincial Lottery Corporation every Wednesday and Saturday, by the use of a random number generator.
Top 3 highest jackpots paid out for The Lotto 6/49
Rank | Jackpot | Game |
---|---|---|
1 | $64 million | Lotto 6/49 |
2 | $63.4 million | Lotto 6/49 |
3 | $54.3 million | Lotto 6/49 |
The biggest Lotto 6/49 jackpot payout recorded was on Saturday 17th October 2015 when Zhe Wang of Mississauga, Ontario won CA$64 million.
Remember – there’s no way to predict the numbers as drawings are completely random, but there are tried and tested ways to increase your chance to win.
We will pop in some fun strategies for good measure!
Play the Right Games
There is a selection of lottery games—and they each have different odds of winning.
Look at a list of past winning numbers for canada 649 Lotto, and you’ll see, more often than not, one or more of the number groups are not represented. For example, in the combination 5-14-17-32-38-46, there are no 20’s. Tracking and studying Number Groups can help you make a informed choice.
According to a poll run by mathematician Alex Bellos, seven is not surprisingly the most popular lucky number in the world.
Seven days of the week, seven wonders of the world, seven continents, seven seas, and the list goes on.
Other traditional lucky numbers include three (as in “good things come in threes”) and four.
Horoscopes: Lucky Numbers for Today
If you’d like to find lucky numbers without having to play around with numbers yourself, your daily horoscope is a good place to turn.
Many horoscopes include predictions of which days will be lucky for you (and you can try playing the lottery on those days).
Choose Rarer Numbers
Picking certain numbers may offer you a slight advantage, not for your chances of winning, but for your payout.
If you win a lottery jackpot, there is a chance that you might have to split the payout with players who picked the same numbers, so you might as well try to select rarer numbers to improve your odds of keeping more of the payout for yourself.
The simplest way to find lucky numbers to play is simply to use a generator. Lucky number generators use numerology, or perhaps simply randomness, to find numbers for you.
On average, one lottery number will be a repeat hit from the last drawing 56 percent of the time.
Just a note About #LotteryStrategies
Finding and playing lucky numbers is based on fun more than facts. Mathematically, every number has an equal chance of being chosen as a winner.
Remember that there are disadvantages to using traditional lucky numbers as lottery numbers: a lot of other players will be using them, too. That means that if these numbers do win, players chances of having to split the jackpot are high.
Not only does the Lotto 6/49 offer players “top prize” payouts, but it has multiple ways and chances to win. As previous results and jackpot payouts will show, the Lotto 6/49 offers players of any income a chance to win and dream BIG!
