The table above fails to disclose that Daily Grand's top prize is
Annuity of $1,000 a day* for life or a single lump sum cash payment of $7,000,000 [emphasis mine].
Doesn't Daily Grand's
-
more moneyed lump sum ($7M > Ontario 49's \$2M),
-
and higher probability ($\color{red}{\dfrac {1}{13, 348, 188}} > \color{darkorange}{\dfrac{1}{13, 983, 816}}$)
prove that Daily Grand's always better than Ontario 49?
Have I overlooked any reason to play Ontario 49, rather than Daily Grand?
