Canada 6/49 Lotto Overview |
The Canada 6/49 Lotto is one of two national lotteries in Canada.
It was the first Canadian national lottery, established in 1982. It has
become hugely popular, with a great minimum starting jackpot of Can$4
million. In the week that the record jackpot was won, virtually 2 out of
3 Canadian adults bought lottery tickets. This jackpot was a massive $54
million - proof that this lottery can pay out the kind of money that
most people can only dream of!
The way to win the jackpot is to pick all 6 numbers correctly.
However there is also a bonus number which is drawn, and if you get 5
numbers correct plus the bonus number, then you win the second prize,
which is usually worth between a quarter and half a million dollars.
You can buy your tickets for the Canada 6/49 Lotto up to 10
draws in advance and you can choose your own numbers, or have the random
number generator pick them for you. There are six divisions to the prize
payouts, and the minimum requirement for winning a prize is to correctly
select 2 numbers plus the bonus number. This is one of the most popular
lotteries around, so make sure you don`t miss out. |
