Instant game
- While your transaction is being processed, the Loto-Québec computer randomly generates an animation on the terminal’s consumer screen to reveal whether the instant game is a winner. If it is, the value of the prize won is displayed. Prizes to be won vary from $10 to $100.
- At the end of the instant game, a ticket is issued indicating, among other things, the result of the instant game, the six-digit unique number and the draw dates the number is eligible for.
Early Bird draws
- On each Early Bird draw date, i.e., May 11, 18 and 25, 2025, or as soon as possible after those dates, Loto-Québec will draw at random 6 numbers for the $25,000 prizes and 1,000 numbers for the $50 prizes from the numbers issued for the relevant draw.
