Canadian Lottery Results and Guides

This page gathers lottery results in Canada for the main draws: Lotto Max, Lotto 6/49 and Daily Grand nationally, plus Lottario in Ontario and Western Max in the Prairies and the territories. The combined table below shows the latest draws from the official results, and each game has its own page with the last ten draws, the rules and the odds. The numbers here are a convenience: your lottery corporation’s app, website, self-checker or retailer is what decides whether a ticket wins.

Latest lottery results across Canada

Results are imported automatically from the lottery corporations’ published results, mainly the Western Canada Lottery Corporation (WCLC), with Loto-Quebec as a cross-check for the national games. No editor types winning numbers in by hand. Lottario is published only by OLG, so its results can appear later than the others.

The draws we cover

Game	Price per play	Draw days	Where sold	Top prize rule
Lotto Max	$6 (four lines)	Tuesday, Friday	National	Jackpot from $10 million, cap $90 million

Ticket sales for the national games close at 10:30 p.m. ET on draw day, and some provinces stop earlier. Prices and formats are those published by OLG and WCLC; Lotto Max moved to its current $6 format in April 2026.

Who runs lotteries in Canada

Under section 207 of the Criminal Code, only a province, alone or with other provinces, may conduct and manage a lottery scheme. In practice five regional corporations sell tickets: OLG in Ontario, Loto-Quebec in Quebec, the British Columbia Lottery Corporation, the Western Canada Lottery Corporation for Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and the three territories, and Atlantic Lottery for New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland and Labrador. The national games are run together through an interprovincial body; Lottario and Western Max are regional games.

That structure explains why a ticket from Ontario and one from Alberta can carry different add-ons and be claimed through different prize offices, even for the same Lotto Max draw. Our province-by-province guide covers the wider legal frame, including casinos and sports betting.

Buying tickets online from a provincial site

Several provinces sell lottery tickets online through their own crown sites, which are the only regulated option for online lottery play in their province. OLG sells online in Ontario and Loto-Quebec in Quebec; PlayNow covers British Columbia and Manitoba, Play Alberta lists lottery among its products, and WCLC’s Lotto Spot app serves players in its region, including the territories. Each site requires you to be physically in the province and of legal age. Product lists change, so confirm on the provincial site that the game you want is offered online before you register. Any site outside this system that sells “Canadian lottery” entries is not a provincial lottery corporation, and its tickets are not official entries.

Encore, Extra and other add-ons

Add-ons depend on the region where you buy. OLG sells ENCORE in Ontario: $1 per play, a seven-digit number, 22 ways to win and a $1,000,000 top prize at odds of 1 in 10,000,000. It can be added to Lotto 6/49, Lotto Max, Daily Grand, Ontario 49, Lottario, Daily Keno and the Pick games. WCLC and Loto-Quebec sell EXTRA instead; WCLC’s EXTRA costs $1 and has a $250,000 top prize. We could not confirm the add-ons sold by BCLC and Atlantic Lottery, so check with them directly.

Checking a ticket the right way

1. Look at the draw date printed on the ticket and find that draw on the game page.
2. Compare main numbers line by line; bonus numbers and Grand Numbers only count in the prize tiers that name them.
3. Confirm with the official route: OLG’s Check Winning Numbers page or an in-store checker in Ontario, WCLC’s Lotto Spot app or a retailer self-checker in the West, or your provincial corporation elsewhere.
4. Keep the paper ticket safe until it is paid. WCLC does not accept printed copies of app tickets.

Claim periods and prize offices

Small prizes are usually paid at the counter. OLG says stores can pay under $1,000 depending on the store and must pay up to $50; larger prizes are claimed online. WCLC retailers pay up to $100, may decline up to $1,000, and anything over $1,000 goes through a prize office. On claim deadlines, OLG states 12 months from the draw date for Daily Grand and ENCORE. For the other games we did not find a stated deadline on official pages, so check the conditions of the corporation that sold the ticket.

Lottery winnings and tax

In Canada, lottery prizes are not taxed for ordinary players: the CRA says lottery winnings of any amount are not reported, unless they are really income from employment, business or property. What the money earns afterwards, such as interest, is taxable. A CRA taxpayer alert adds that you never pay it taxes or fees to collect a Canadian lottery prize, so a message asking for a fee is a scam. See our guide to winnings and tax for detail.

Odds, age and keeping lottery play small

Jackpot odds on the national games run from about 1 in 14 million to more than 1 in 33 million per play, and the average return on a ticket is below its price. Gambling in Canada is 19+ (18+ in Alberta, Manitoba and Quebec); for lottery tickets, OLG states 18+ in Ontario and WCLC applies 18+ to its products. If ticket spending is growing, our responsible gambling page lists limit tools and help lines. Scratch tickets are covered separately on our scratch cards page.
