Draw every Tuesday and Friday.

Each play is made up of 3 selections of 7 numbers from 1 to 50.

Cost per play: $5

To enter one or more draws, present your completed selection slip to a retailer, request one or more Quick Picks (i.e., computer-generated selections) or, if applicable, present a winning ticket of a free play and pay the amount wagered.

A ticket is issued indicating, among other things, the name of the game(s), the draw date(s), the play(s), the amount wagered and a control number.

On each draw date, or as soon as possible after that date, the ILC will draw, at random among all numbers from 1 to 50, seven main numbers and one bonus number ("B"). Depending on the game conditions, additional selections of seven numbers from 1 to 50 could be drawn.

*Average prize.

**The Pools Fund is the total sum of all prizes minus the sum of fixed prizes payable to the winners of the 3/7, 3/7+B and 4/7 categories.

The maximum jackpot is $70,000,000. Maxmillions prizes ($1,000,000 prizes) will be added when the jackpot hits $50,000,000. Should the amount of the 7/7 pool for any given draw exceed $50,000,000, it will be capped at an amount set between $50,000,000 and $70,000,000 (the "7/7 pool cap"), and the excess will be divided into additional prizes of $1,000,000 (Maxmillions). Any remaining difference will be added to the 6/7+B pool.

For example: If the 7/7 pool hits $52,214,000, the jackpot is set at $50,000,000 (7/7 pool cap) and two Maxmillions are drawn. The remaining amount of $214,000 is added to the 6/7+B pool.

Additional selections drawn for Maxmillions prizes are not decomposable, and each of the Maxmillions prizes is shareable.

Following a draw, the value of each prize is calculated according to the current prize structure. Lotto Max is a variable-prize game. Prizes are calculated based on sales and distributed according to the number of winners in each category. One prize only per winning selection.

How Lotto 6/49 works

Lotto 6/49 is governed by the RULES AND REGULATIONS RESPECTING LOTTERIES AND LOTTERY TICKETS of the Interprovincial Lottery Corporation (“ILC”) which include limitations of liability.

Draw every Wednesday and Saturday.

Each play is composed of one selection of six numbers from 1 to 49 (the “Classic Selection”) and one “Gold Ball Draw Number.”

Cost per play: $3

To enter one or more draws, present your completed selection slip or request one or more Quick Picks (computer-generated selections) to your retailer or, if applicable, present a winning ticket of a free play and pay the amount wagered. Each Gold Ball Draw Number is a unique computer-generated 10-digit number (XXXXXXXX-XX).

A ticket is issued indicating, among other things, the name of the game(s), the draw date(s), the Classic Selection(s), the Gold Ball Draw Number(s), the amount wagered and a control number.

For the Gold Ball Draw Numbers, a segmented group of numbers is assigned to each of the five Canadian lottery corporations. In addition, these numbers are issued in sequence. For example, when a lottery ticket is composed of several plays, the first eight digits of the numbers remain the same, and the last two digits range from 01 to the number of plays purchased (67890123-01, 67890123-02, 67890123-03, etc.).

When a lottery ticket is composed of three or more Lotto 6/49 plays, the Gold Ball Draw Numbers are shown as a range. For example, if you buy 10 Lotto 6/49 plays on the same lottery ticket, you will get 10 Classic Selections and 10 Gold Ball Draw Numbers, which will be indicated on your lottery ticket as follows:

DE : 67890123-01
À : 67890123-10

A winning Gold Ball Draw Number is one whose number is identical to the Gold Ball Draw Number drawn.

Draw

On each draw date, or as soon as possible after that date, ILC will cause six numbers and one bonus number to be drawn at random from among all numbers from 1 to 49 (“Classic Draw”).

Furthermore, one Gold Ball Draw Number is drawn at random from among all those who have been issued for that draw (“Gold Ball Draw”). This selection allows a participant to win either the Gold Ball Jackpot or a $1,000,000 Prize. The value of this prize is determined by the “Gold Ball Jackpot Draw.” If a white ball is drawn, the prize won is $1,000,000, and that ball is withdrawn from subsequent Gold Ball Jackpot Draws until the Gold Ball is drawn. If the Gold Ball is not drawn, the Gold Ball Jackpot increases in the next draw by an amount determined by the ILC. When the Gold Ball is drawn, 29 white balls, each corresponding to a $1,000,000 prize, and one Gold Ball will be available in the next Gold Ball Jackpot Draw, and the preceding process will be repeated.

How Formule groupe works

LOTTO MAX and LOTTO 6/49 are governed by the RULES AND REGULATIONS RESPECTING LOTTERIES AND LOTTERY TICKETS of the Interprovincial Lottery Corporation (“ILC”) which include limitations of liability.

QUÉBEC MAX, QUÉBEC 49 AND EXTRA are governed by the BY-LAW RESPECTING FORECAST CONTESTS AND NUMBERS GAMES, published in the GAZETTE OFFICIELLE DU QUÉBEC, which includes limitations of liability.

"Formule groupe" allows people to play the lottery as a group. To create a group, present a duly completed Formule groupe selection slip to a retailer or request Quick Picks (i.e. computer-generated selections) and pay the retailer the total amount wagered.

Each group member will receive a ticket with a bar code. Each group member will therefore be able to check whether or not their ticket is a winning ticket using a self-serve ticket checker at a retail location. Each member who is a rightful ticket holder may also have their ticket validated and claim their share of a prize (i.e. share of prize of $600 or less) at the retail location of their choice. Otherwise, they must claim their share at a designated Loto-Québec establishment.

Only one prize may be claimed per winning selection. The prize value will be calculated according to the number of group shares belonging to the rightful ticket holder. The winning selections for a draw are determined as per the rules of the lottery game, and the prize value is calculated as per the prize structure in effect for each lottery game. The prize structure for each lottery game is available from Loto-Québec upon request or on the game's page.

Formule groupe is available for the following games:

  • Lotto Max
  • Québec Max
  • Lotto Max + Québec Max
  • Lotto 6/49
  • Québec 49
  • Lotto 6/49 + Québec 49

It’s also possible to add Extra.

Cost of each play (share):

  • Lotto Max: $5 for three 7 number selections*
  • Québec Max: $2 for three 7 number selections*
  • Lotto Max + Québec Max: $7 for the same three 7 number selections* participate in both the Lotto Max and Québec Max draws of a same date
  • Lotto 6/49: $3 for one 6 number selection (the Classic Selection) and one "Gold Ball Draw Number"
  • Québec 49: $1 for one 6 number selection
  • Lotto 6/49 + Québec 49: $4 for one 6-number selection, valid for both Lotto 6/49 and Québec 49 draws of a same date, and one "Gold Ball Draw Number", a computer-generated 10-digit number, valid for the Lotto 6/49 draw only.

*Either the chosen selection plus two computer-generated selections or, if opting for a Quick Pick, three computer-generated selections.

A group may purchase 2 to 20 plays for the next draw of the concerned game(s). For Extra, the retailer will indicate how many numbers can be added for your group ($1 per number for one draw).

Each ticket will indicate, among other things, the name of the game(s), the draw date, the group number, the group total number of shares, the plays and a control number, as well as the dollar value and number of shares associated with this ticket. A ticket is valid for only one draw per chosen lottery game.

Before leaving the point of sale, verify the information on the tickets, then give each group member their ticket, and remind them to sign it.

How Formule super groupe works

LOTTO MAX and LOTTO 6/49 are governed by the RULES AND REGULATIONS RESPECTING LOTTERIES AND LOTTERY TICKETS of the Interprovincial Lottery Corporation (“ILC”) which include limitations of liability.

QUÉBEC MAX, QUÉBEC 49 AND EXTRA are governed by the BY-LAW RESPECTING FORECAST CONTESTS AND NUMBERS GAMES, published in the GAZETTE OFFICIELLE DU QUÉBEC, which includes limitations of liability.

Formule super groupe enables you to buy a share in a group, which is pooled with those of the other group members. One share corresponds to a predetermined number of selection(s) or play(s) in one or more lotteries, for one draw. The features of the groups and the shares are defined by Loto-Québec.

The maximum number of shares in a group (21 to 100) is also determined by Loto-Québec. Due to the way groups evolve, the final number of shares in a group is confirmed at the applicable deadline for wagers and corresponds to the number of shares actually sold at time of said deadline, regardless of whether the maximum number of shares has been reached. For example, a group with a maximum number of 50 shares could end up with only 40 shares if only 40 of the 50 shares were sold at the deadline for wagers.

Each group member receives a ticket with a bar code. It is therefore possible, for each group member, to check whether or not if his ticket is a winner using a self-serve ticket checker at a retailer. Similarly, each member who is the lawful holder of a valid ticket may also have his ticket validated and claim his share of a prize (share of prize of $600 or less) at the retailer of his choice. Otherwise, he must claim it at a designated Loto-Québec establishment.

The lawful holder of a valid ticket which, for one game, bears a winning selection according to the applicable rules then in force for that game, is entitled to claim one prize only for that winning selection. The value of that prize will be calculated according to the number of shares in the group belonging to the lawful holder. Winning selections resulting from a draw are determined according to the rules described on each game's selection slip, and the amount of each prize is calculated according to the prize structure in force for each game. The prize structures for each lottery game are available from Loto-Québec upon request or on the game's page.

Games offered in Formule super groupe can only be played using Quick Pick.

Each ticket represents one share of the group with which it's associated and indicates, among other things, the name of the game(s), the draw date, the group number, the maximum number of shares in the group, the play issued at the purchase of that ticket, a control number and the cost of the share.

Subject to the following, it is possible to purchase more than one share in a group or one share in more than one group, but it is not possible to purchase more than one share in more than one group in a single transaction. The sale of more than one share in a same group ends 30 minutes before the deadline for wagers on the night of the draw of the game(s) of the selected option.

The retailer may cancel one or more shares in a group only within 30 minutes of registration, but never after the deadline for wagers or after midnight on the day of registration. During the cancellation period, it is not possible to see the selections of these shares as they can still be cancelled. For this reason, some selections are blurred when viewing the list of selections.

The number of shares sold and the list of selections for the group are available at any time on the Formule super groupe web page or on the app, and are continually updated. You can also see the number of shares sold in the group using a self-serve ticket checker at a retailer. It is also possible to obtain the full list of a group's selections from a retailer once the group is "closed."

A group is considered closed when all shares have been sold and the 30-minute cancellation period has elapsed after the last share was sold, or after the applicable deadline for wagers.

Only the "Lotto Max", "Québec Max", "Lotto 6/49" and "Québec 49" selections and the "Extra" numbers registered in the central computer system participate in the games.

Before leaving the point of sale, verify the information on your ticket and sign it. The ticket is valid for only one draw of the game(s) of the selected option.

Deadline for wagers: 10:30 p.m. on the night of the draw of the game(s) of the selected option.

See its respective selection slip or web page for more details on each game : Lotto 6/49, Québec 49, Lotto Max, Québec Max and Extra. For Lotto Max, Lotto 6/49 and Québec Max, when a free play is won, it is automatically issued to the group for the draw following the one in which it was won. In this case, all the selections in the group appear on the group ticket and there is no list of selections.
