Questions
Is there a chart of all lottery odds in Canada?
Yes. The table at the top of this page lists the 47 games in our catalog, with odds and prizes taken from the official game conditions. For a ranking by odds, see Which Canadian Lottery Has the Best Odds?.
Can I print the lottery odds chart?
Yes. The table is built to print on its own, and each row keeps the date of the game conditions it uses.
How often is the lottery odds table updated?
The numbers are calculated by code from the official game conditions. Each row shows its rule date; some rows come from archived copies of operator pages, so check that date against the operator's published conditions.
Which lotto game has the shortest jackpot odds in the catalog?
Among the lotto games in the catalog: Lightning Lotto (OLG) – 1 in 635,628, Lightning Lotto (WCLC) – 1 in 635,628 and Tout ou rien (Loto-Québec) – 1 in 2,704,156. Keno, Pick and daily digit games, Cash Pop and add-ons are not in this ranking.
Why is Lotto Max last on return per dollar?
The chart's return counts fixed prizes only. Lotto Max has the lowest fixed-prize return in the chart; its jackpot and pool-shared prizes are not counted in this figure, so it is not the game's whole return.
