Three Canadians shared in Friday nights Super 7 lotto, I'm not one of them so perhaps you were one of the lucky winners. 32.5 million dollars got split three ways with three separate tickets taking home 10,833,333.40. In a typical Canadian fashion, the three winners were from Ontario, Quebec and Western Canada, only Atlantic Canada was shut out this time. If you didn't win the big prize there's quite the drop from first place to second. Fourteen winners of the 6 + bonus can claim a cheque of $102,601.20. 461 lottery players won $2726.40, 30,231 players got $148.50, 641,905 holders of 4 winning numbers collected 10 bucks, as did 592,226 ticket holders of 3 + the bonus. 5.359,395 players won a free ticket on next weeks Super 7 a mere 2.5 million dollars.
If you figure the odds were against you, you're right. The chances of winning the giant jackpot on Friday were 1 in 62 million. At the height of the lotto mania across Canada, it was reported that 31 tickets were being sold every second. Ponder those odds as you stare at your fistfull of now useless tickets, but then again, only 7 little numbers separate you from a carefree existence. Suspect I'll be seeing you again in the lotto line up soon.
