How LOTTO 6/49 works
What is LOTTO 6/49?
LOTTO 6/49 is Canada’s national lottery game offering two jackpot opportunities in every draw: the fixed Classic Jackpot and the Gold Ball Jackpot.
How much does it cost to play?
Each play costs $3. Players select six numbers from 1 to 49 or choose Quick Pick. ENCORE may be added for an additional fee.
What are the odds of winning?
The overall odds of winning any prize are approximately 1 in 6.6. The odds of winning the Classic Jackpot are about 1 in 13.9 million.
What is the Gold Ball Draw?
Each LOTTO 6/49 play receives a randomly assigned Gold Ball selection. One selection is drawn each draw. If the Gold Ball is drawn, the full jackpot is won. If a White Ball is drawn, a guaranteed prize is paid and the jackpot continues to grow.
Can players choose their Gold Ball number?
No. Gold Ball selections are automatically generated and cannot be chosen manually.
Where can players confirm official rules and details?
Full official information, rules, and prize structures are available through provincial lottery corporations, including the official LOTTO 6/49 page.
