Yeah, you get it right. Lotteries in Canada are increasingly becoming popular.ย  These are not just for residents but the visitors can also play and win. According to reports, Ontario generated lottery sales of approximately 4.36 billion Canadian dollars in 2021.

So, if you are also fond of trying your luck; you mustnโ€™t miss this opportunity. Being in Canada, I suggest you should try any of the lotteries at least once. For your convenience and information, I have provided the details about top lotteries in Canada.

1. National Lotto 6/49

Lotto 6/49 is a popular national lottery game in Canada. Most of you must have already heard about it. Basically, itโ€™s a numbers game where players select six numbers from a pool of 49. Players can also choose to have the numbers randomly selected for them through a quick pick option. Drawings are held on Wednesday and Sunday, andย players can win prizes by matching a certain number of the numbers drawn. The jackpot, which is won by matching all six numbers, starts at $5 million and increases with each drawing until it is won.

2. Lotto Max

You can also go with Lotto Max. It is organized by the initiable Lottery Corporation. It is held every Friday and the jackpot starts at $10 million, with the potential to grow to as much as $70 million through rollovers. Players select seven numbers from 1 to 50, and prizes are awarded to those who match a certain number of the numbers drawn. In addition to the main jackpot, there are also secondary prizes for matching fewer numbers.

3. Daily Grand

Daily Grand is a daily lottery game in Canada, with drawings held every day of the week. Players choose five numbers from a pool of 49, and one Grand Number from a pool of 7. To win the jackpot, all six numbers should be the same. Daily Grand is a Canadian lottery game that is offered by the Interprovincial Lottery Corporation (ILC). It is a 5/49 + 1/7 game, meaning players select five numbers from a pool of 49 numbers and one โ€œGrand Numberโ€ from a separate pool of 7 numbers. Drawings are given every Monday and Thursday.

Players must match all five numbers and the Grand Number to win the jackpot, which is a guaranteed lifetime annuity of $1,000 a day for life. There are also additional prize tiers for matching a lesser number of numbers. Proceeds from the sale of Daily Grand tickets go towards supporting various programs and initiatives across Canada. Being a daily lottery, I recommend this one better for you as a visitor.

4. Atlantic 49

Atlantic 49 is a lottery game played in the Atlantic provinces of Canada, including Newfoundland and Labrador, Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick. Players select six numbers from 1 to 49, and if their numbers match the winning numbers drawn, they can win prizes. Draws are taken every Wednesday and Saturday. In addition to the main draw, there is also a bonus number that can be used to win additional prizes.

5. Saskatchewan Lotteries

Saskatchewan Lotteries is a government-run organization that oversees the distribution and sale of lottery products in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. This includes popular games such as Lotto 6/49, Lotto Max, and Scratch โ€˜N Win. Proceeds from the sale of lottery tickets are used to support various community initiatives and organizations in the provinces. So, even if you donโ€™t win, you get a chance to help someone.

9. Western 649

Western 649 is offered by the Western Canada Lottery Corporation (WCLC). It is a 6/49 game, meaning players select six numbers from a pool of 49 numbers. Drawings are given twice a week, every Wednesday and Saturday. To play Western 649, youโ€™ll need to use a Lotto 6/49 selection slip or just speak to the retailer directly. There is no separate play slip for Western 649. If youโ€™re filling out a slip, select the box for Western 649 to play this game on its own.

10.ย  Mega Dice Lotto

It is a popular game played in Ontario. In this lottery game draws resume daily at local time at 22:30 daily. Players have to select their six numbers from 1 to 39 in the mega dice lotteries and after selecting the numbers they just receive the tickets.

When you purchase a ticket an Instant Win game is also prompted in addition to the main draw, on the lottery terminal. In this Instant Win game, it is not necessary to match any numbers against the main draw ticket. However, if a commendable combination is rolled during the game then the players win. Since this game follows an Instant Win theme, there is no Advance Play option.
