British Columbia Lottery Corporation (BCLC) - What Are the Best Games to Bet On?

British Columbia Lottery corporation (BCLC) offers many games for residents of the Canadian province to bet on. But with so many games to choose from, which are the best ones? There are two different types of lottery players and the answer depends on which type you are.

The first type of lottery player wants to win as much money as possible and bets on games with the biggest jackpots, no matter what the odds are. For this type of player, the best game that British Columbia Lottery corporation offers to bet on is Lotto 6/49. Lotto 6/49 has huge jackpots and can sometimes even reach $50 million. Of course, that's tax-free because Canada doesn't tax lottery winnings. It is quite difficult to win the jackpot in Lotto 6/49, though, because the odds of winning it are approximately 1-in-14-million.

The second type of lottery player also wants to win as much money as possible, but bets on games with a better probability of winning. For the type of player, the best game that BCLC offers is BC/49. The jackpot in the game is $2 million and the odds of winning it are the same as Lotto 6/49. Smaller jackpot and same odds? Now, why would anybody bet on BC/49? Because a ticket costs half as much as a Lotto 6/49 ticket. That means you could buy twice the number of tickets for the same price, essentially doubling your chances to win. A Lotto 6/49 ticket costs $2 and a BC/49 ticket costs $1.

Of course, British Columbia Lottery corporation also offers many other games, including instant scratch-off games like Banco, Amazing Race, Set For Life, and Vegas Strip. It is best to compare the odds of winning to the jackpot amount prior to purchasing instant games.
