Even though this Canadian lottery had the worst odds, this website you are reading was inspired in part by this lottery. The gang at LotterySquirrel.com were loyal SUPER 7 players. The tickets cost $2.00 for one line and included 2 bonus lines, giving players 3 chances which made the net cost per line $0.666.
The Lottery Charms Story / LotterySquirrel.com
In April 2002, I was cleaning up my desk in my office and I had a few lottery tickets attached to a filing cabinet using a couple of White Squirrel magnets. This was so they would not get lost or go through my new shredder. Following the draw, I checked the tickets and found the ticket paid out $147.60 for 5 out of 7 numbers (SUPER 7).
In May, the White Squirrel pins I designed came in and I started wearing one of them. Once again I just attached my lottery ticket to a filing cabinet with a White Squirrel magnet. On May 4, 2002 I checked my ticket on-line to find out I had 6 out of 7 numbers on the Canada’s 7/ 47 lottery draw of May 3, 2002 (SUPER 7) paying $2,408.00 On May 4, 2002I was in Sarnia, Ontario taking some digital photographs for a customer and stopped by the Casino on the waterfront. I was wearing the White Squirrel pin as I played the 5 Cent slots. My winnings that day yielded $160.00. At this time, I left due to the excessive smoke from smokers. (I prefer to avoid these places due to the health risks of second hand smoke).
Some friends were making jokes about a horse shoe located somewhere in my body. After reviewing what was different we narrowed this to the White Squirrel Pins & Magnets.
On May 8, 2002 I was searching the Internet for domains to use for possibly marketing items of luck and registered LotteryCharms.com. This was set aside for future use.
Start of the 2-Year Wealth-Luck Action Plan
May 30, 2002 LotteryCharms.com was formalized as a trade-mark with the Canadian Intellectual Property Office. The time frame of 2 years was to allow for LotteryCharms.com to become a registered Trade-mark. The trade-mark was deemed necessary to prevent someone else from capitalizing on this idea when the BIG WIN materialized.
This decision was the catalyst for a 2 year wealth-luck action plan formulated on the belief that a series of small wins would eventually lead up to a big win, like tremors in advance of an earthquake. This would create demand for LotteryCharms.com items of luck because when you win big everyone wants a piece of you.
June 1, 2002 the web site LotteryCharms.com was completed to correspond with the official release of WhiteSquirrels.ca.
Many wins were achieved, with 2 notables wins.
On Christmas morning December 25, 2003, I checked my numbers to find out I won $1419.50 5 out 6 on Canada’s 6 / 49 lottery (one number off from $666,666,40)
On May 31, 2004 the goal of a planned win was achieved with the win of the GRAND PRIZE – Dream of a Lifetime Lottery – prize valued at over $775,00.00
Black Squirrel pins were worn daily and a Black Squirrel pin was used to attach the GRAND PRIZE Winning Ticket to a cork board. Also a White Squirrel pin with the pin back removed was carried in my wallet.
June 04, 2004
LotteryCharms.com was allowed to be registered as a Trade-mark in Canada. (6 days beyond the 2 year business plan – 5 days excluding the leap year- 4 days after the big win on May 31, 2004).
June 18, 2004
LotteryCharms.com was registered as a Trade-mark in Canada and was assigned the Trade-mark Number TMA613166
Since the 2002 wins of $147.60 & $2,408 on Super 7, numerous trademarks and websites have been developed – including LotterySquirrel.com – all because of those wins. Since that first win of 147.60, I have had 473 notable wins totaling over $790,496.37+
Saying Goodbye to Super 7 is like losing a good friend.

I really think the odds of winning any of these lotteries isn’t to good. I have been playing the 6/49 for about 15 years. The most numbers ever came up were 4 numbers. Your odds are better than hitting by lightning than win the lottery. I think lotto max is really to much for a ticket. Your odds aren’t really that good. I might buy 1 now and again.
Hi Terry
I have talked to people who have played the same numbers for years and they say they have experienced the same thing. I told a construction supervisor to switch to QUICK PICKS. The very next draw he won a few FREE tickets and some lower prize amounts on later draws. He said it was nice to get a return. Any of the big wins I have had were all quick picks or the next ticket assigned. If you play the same numbers on each draw and 4 come in, get a new set.
I hope this helps.
Playing as a group is the smartest way to play.
If you want to play Lotto Max, wait until it reaches the $50 Million mark.
The new Lotto Max is a colossal rip-off. The scumbag government has gotten greedy.
its too expensive to play ,it was $2 dollars for 3 rows now its $ 5 for three number rows
when loto 649 was 1 dollar i was playing,but when it went to two dollars i quit playing.Now i play super 7 because you get lots of numbers for the price.Now i here that the new game is 5 dollars a play,but do they forget that the odds are astronomical or are they getting greedy again.ps i dont mind putting out a few dollars for a longshot but i am getting fedup
It looks so expensive. before I play every week, now I will think
Hi Rajeev
Lotto Max is a little costly to play weekly, unless part of a group. I would recommend waiting until the jackpot hits the $50 Million mark. Then I would play as a group.

I have talked to many retailers and when Lotto 649 jumped to $2 from $1 their sales were hurt. I personally stopped playing for some time. I feel they will lose many Super 7 players, but when the jackpot is advertised at $50 Million, people will jump in. Having the separate prizes above the $50 million I think is a Canadian idea – stupid. Mega Millions and Powerball sell tickets like crazy because of the high jackpots, ie $325 million. Most people say it is not right one person could have all that money.If you think it is not right do NOT PLAY. Usually the big wins are by groups – the smartest way to play!
When the jackpots are really high $100, $200, $300+ millions many non lottery players will buy tickets or join a lottery pool.
Time will tell, but raising the price of the tickets in a down economy will be a uphill battle for the lottery.
Many years back we had a lottery called CLEANSWEEP, it was not one of their better ideas. On the LOTTO MAX if you were buying one line and got 4 free, I think it would have better success.
I personally hope to be the last person who wins the last BIG Super 7 jackpot. POSITIVE THINKING!
the cost of ONE LINE lottery called lotto max has now risen by a 150%
jump, the super 7 rose by 100%, when will the O.L.G. realize that they are the only corperation, that can make such a jump without some uproar from government watchdogs. You have priced me out of buying any more tickets, and I hope, other people will feel the same.
Let’s see.
Odds of winning Max is less than Super 7. (table is 49, which is more than before) [check]
One play is now $5 not $1. [check]
Myself playing very very rarely. [check]
Do I see Max getting canned in the near future. [check]
