Factory workers share $80.4 million Lotto Max prize, largest payout in Canadian lottery historyReply
Crazy to think this $80.4 million Lotto Max win from Dec 30 edges out that $75M Ontario solo winner from back in August as Canada's biggest payout ever. Factory workers splitting it like that after a combo play that netted them an extra $400k shows smart pooling pays off big time.

Virginia Lottery players rake in $7.9 million with 4-4-4-4 in Pick 4Reply
Ontario recently (Feb) went full RNG for pick 2/3/4/KENO and I quit playing shortly after. RNG is fishy, I don't trust it nor 'them' and so I no longer play.
