Stop 'calculating' winning numbers behind closed doors for 649 and Lotto Max games. Reveal everything live on air via television, similar to how it was done back then in the 2000s ONLY using the ball drop machine. 

If the POWER BALL in the USA, which can reach a jackpot as high as 1.5 BILLION US DOLLARS, still uses the ball drop system and broadcast live every week, what's stopping the OLG to broadcast in Canada, where the maximum value of jackpot can only reach a mere 70 MILLION CANADIAN DOLLARS?

The so called 'Random Machine Generator' is being used to construe desired results deliberately to select WHEN and WHERE the winning numbers should be won; thereby showcasing the so called 'randomness' on purpose. 

This manipulated 'system' will keep generating either numbers which should be won on a specific date OR a desired geographic location the jackpot must be won from. 

To add confusion, 10% of instances WILL have random winning numbers of 649 or Lotto Max BEFORE the jackpots reach significant amounts. Not only this, there will be winners from their online website to also boost their online ticket sales. This is all manipulated as well.

This process has been in place ever since the ball drop system was completely replaced to manipulate the results behind closed doors to ensure that 80% of winners only get selected from BC, ON and QC provinces in a sequence. The rest 15% comprises of AB, SK and MB provinces and the remaining 5% will be from the Atlantic provinces. 

This is a clever, deliberate attempt to 'control' the results. The reason is, OLG wants to have the winners chosen from different provinces when compared from previous draws' results. This is to ensure the ticket sales get generated from coast to coast by ensuring the 'randomness'. For instance, the players playing from downtown Toronto each week will be far more than elsewhere in the country because of huge concentration of population. So, there should be A LOT of winning tickets from Toronto. In reality, how many have actually won the jackpots of 649 and Lotto Max from Toronto? To ensure that there is a winner from coast to coast, OLG therefore uses computer manipulator to ensure the winning numbers get generated from the province they desire, which has absolutely nothing to do randomness. 

This is thereby misusing players' dreams by squashing their hopes to win honestly in the games they are part of and for which they are spending their hard earned money for. Therefore, the players keep losing their money because of an undesired, vicious system which clearly manipulates the results instead of being a transparent system. The only excuse OLG uses is, the draw system is overseen by 'a couple of CA firms with good reputation', that's all. 

This petition is, therefore, to revert back and conduct the drawing process ONLY using the ball drop machine AND broadcasting it live on television which was also being done in the early 2000s.

Please sign this petition and be the change you want to see from the OLG.
