The $30 million Lotto Max jackpot for the May 24 draw was not won and is a minimum $50 million plus 2 Maxmillions for the next draw. Sales of $28.8 million was 25% lower than average and 7% higher than the previous draw. There was a 82% chance the jackpot would not be won, a 16% chance of 1 winning ticket and a 2% chance of 2 or more winners. The payout was a low 40%. The jackpot was under funded from sales by $8.4 million.
The $7.3 million Lotto 649 jackpot for the May 22 draw was not won and is an estimated $11 million for the next draw. Sales of 6.1 million tickets were 31% lower than average and 7% lower than the previous draw.

The Lotto 649 game will change in September 2013. The price with change from $2 to $3 per ticket. Jackpots will start at $5 million - not sure if this is estimated based on sales or a guaranteed minimum. A new prize category will be added - matching 2 numbers wins a free ticket. The biggest change is a raffle for $1 million. Every draw will award one ticket a $1 million prize.
Invitation to Join
You are invited to join one or more of Mario's lottery groups. There are 10 regular groups to choose from. The groups buy tickets whenever the Lotto 649 jackpot is at least $20 million or the Lotto Max jackpot is at least $40 million. The regular groups are subscription based at a cost of $10 per share per month. On occasion, temporary groups are started to play Lotto 649 or other lotteries when the jackpots are large. You can get on the mailing list to be informed when a new temporary group is available. Please read the FAQ for more information.

There are no administration or hidden fees. There are no referral bonuses. Unlike most other online lottery groups, you do not get free tickets to encourage your friends to join. This is not a pyramid scheme. All monies collected are used to buy tickets. All prizes are either distributed to members or used to buy more tickets.
