[The table above fails to disclose](https://www.playsmart.ca/social-hub/ironing-out-lottery-odds) that for Daily Grand, the prize for the Winning Selection is

>Annuity of \$1,000 a day* for life or a single lump sum cash payment of \$7,000,000.

Doesn't the Daily Grand's lump sum \$7M ($>$ Ontario 49's $2M), and higher probability ($\dfrac {1}{13, 348, 188} > \dfrac{1}{13, 983, 816}$) prove that it's always superior to Ontario 49? 


Have I overlooked any rational reason to play Ontario 49, rather than Daily Grand?
