Payment Options


The Lotto Max jackpot is $50 million plus 20 Maxmillions for the May 18 draw.

The groups bought 400 Lotto Max tickets giving odds of 1 in 71,583 of winning the $50 million jackpot. The odds of winning one of the $1 million Maxmillions prizes is 1 in 3,579.

This is the largest number of Maxmilions prizes since April of last year.

The groups won $100 and 42 free tickets in the May 11 Lotto Max draw and $300 in the May 12 Lotto 649 draw.

Option to join a group for just one draw - how it works


The $50 million Lotto Max jackpot for the May 11 draw was not won and is a minimum $50 million plus 20 Maxmillions for the next draw. Two of the ten Maxmillions prizes were won. Sales of $52 million were 36% higher than average and 10% higher than the previous draw. The match 6 numbers prize was $9,812 and set a new record high. The previous record high was $9,489. There was a 70% chance the jackpot would not be won, a 25% chance of 1 winning ticket and a 5% chance of 2 or more winners. The payout was 56%. The jackpot was underfunded from sales by $8.9 million.
The $3 million Lotto 649 jackpot for the May 16 draw was not won and is an estimated $7 million for the next draw. Sales of 5.6 million tickets were 27% lower than average and 28% lower than the previous draw. There was a 67% chance the jackpot would not be won, a 27% chance of 1 winning ticket and a 6% chance of 2 or more winners. The payout was a very low 27%.
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 $50 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.
