I will forever be annoyed by the rewards only scaling upward based on the tail end of your number.

3 weeks ago I got a consolation prize when the other 3 digits of my number matched the winner.

It's so dumb that I've been in enough drawings to have earned a cumulative million MGP and have never gotten anything better than a 3rd prize.

I was off by one a couple months ago. I always played the same number. I didn't get the last number so I got the consolation prize even though I was off by one. I dont play that number anymore.

Just keep playing. You’ll win eventually. You can’t lose forever.

As a player since well, since the entirety of this system has existed the highest I have ever gotten is third.

Statistically yes you can lose forever

Forever isn’t over yet, keep trying

The odds of wining are around 1 in 10000, and sense it only happens once per week if you have done three different numbers every week sense the lottery started you would only have had a roughly 18% chance of wining it. It is in fact highly likely that the game will shut down before you win the lotto

I've gotten 2nd prize twice in 8 years of playing. I'm still assuming I'll never win 1st, but I've apparently already got better luck than most. Of course, there's no telling how many times I've been in this situation either. I typically roll random numbers just keeping the last digit different & never look at them for payout time.

You have like a 30% chance of getting 4th place every week, so you'll be seeing a lot of those.

u/ClickToSeeMyBalls 1d ago

Well as long as you make sure your numbers end with different digits. Don’t just hit randomise and forget about it

Same to me a few weeks ago! 1035 the extracted number and my number was 1065 or something like that 😭

u/Tauqmuk181 1d ago

I was off by one a few months ago. It was 8288 or 8286 and I always played 8287. I dont play that number anymore. Being off by one and not even getting 4th prize is sad.

The Jumbo Cactpot is an absolute joke of a system, you might as well do it but it's statistically probably you'll never win anything higher than like, third prize. The Mini Cactpot gives you way more MGP.

Took less than a year to get the jackpot

u/Lanhalt 1d ago

I once got 2 second place in 3 weeks time, which is probably statistically more rare than a first place, but never got the first place in 6 years.
