*The EXTRA number(s) is valid for the same draw date(s) as the host game listed at the top of your ticket.



Guaranteed $1 Million Prize Draw

Every Wednesday and Saturday, after the main winning numbers are drawn for the LOTTO 6/49 Jackpot and subsidiary prizes, one Guaranteed Prize Draw selection will be drawn at random from all the Guaranteed Prize Draw selections issued for a prize of $1 million (exact match only).

The Guaranteed Prize Draw selection will be an 8-digit number, followed by a 2-digit trailer (e.g. 22345678-01). The first eight digits are the same for all entries on the same ticket and are unique to that ticket. The same eight-digit sequence will not appear on any other ticket for the same draw.

If the ticket contains multiple LOTTO 6/49 selections, the player receives multiple Guaranteed Prize Draw selections - the first eight digits are the same for all entries; the two-digit number following the hyphen starts at 01, and increases by one for each additional selection on the ticket.

One winning Guaranteed Prize Draw selection will be drawn from those issued to guarantee there is a winning ticket for each draw. Since each Guaranteed Prize Draw selection is unique, it will not be possible for two tickets to share the same number.

Exact match only. There are no subsidiary prizes on the Guaranteed $1 Million Prize Draw numbers.

Odds of winning in any Guaranteed Prize Draw are one out of the number of Guaranteed Prize Draw selections issued for that draw.
