As a last minute shopping item, I have decided to add a large quantity of lottery tickets to one of my gift packs. The problem is I don't play the lotteries myself, so I have no idea what is available, or what each type of ticket sells. Sure, I suppose I could go to the ticket counter and ask the agent to explain it to me, but this is inefficient, and gives me little time to study the various tickets and their odds, winnings, scratch and win stuff, etc. I was wondering what other people in Ontario feel is a good ticket (or tickets) to buy. I may decide to buy just one style, or mix them up for a gift pot pourri. A one line summary might be helpful as well. I'd also be interested in comments such as 'your wasting your time', 'there's little hope unless you buy x number of tickets', etc. Thanks for your time, Brian Onn. -- +-------------------+-----------------------------------------------------+ | Brian Onn | UUCP: ..!uunet!attcan!ncrcan!brian | | NCR Canada Ltd. | INTERNET: Brian.Onn@Toronto.NCR.COM | +-------------------+-----------------------------------------------------+ -- +-------------------+-----------------------------------------------------+ | Brian Onn | UUCP: ..!uunet!attcan!ncrcan!brian | | NCR Canada Ltd. | INTERNET: Brian.Onn@Toronto.NCR.COM | +-------------------+-----------------------------------------------------+

Each ticket is usually good for several draws around the holiday season. None of the lotteries are suitable for big wins. I doubt that you could set up a "Portfolio" of tickets that could come out with a one percent profit. -- Sincerely Yours Tris Orendorff tris@alzabo.uucp -----------------------------------------------------------------------
