Lotteries: questions
Where do the odds on these pages come from?
From the rules and prize charts each lottery operator publishes. Where the operator gives no jackpot odds, we work them out from the number matrix and say so on the page.
Is any lottery a good bet?
No lottery is a way to make money. Lotteries pay out less in prizes than they take in, so over many lines you should expect to lose. Play only with money you can afford to lose.
Can I play foreign lotteries online?
Some online lottery sites sell lines in lotteries from other countries. Each lottery page lists the sites we rank that sell it. Buying lottery entries online is not legal everywhere, so check the law where you live first.
Do some numbers come up more often?
No. In a fair draw every number and every combination has the same chance each time, and past draws do not change the next one.
What are the jackpot odds for the main Canadian lotteries?
One Lotto Max line has a 1 in 33,446,140 chance of the jackpot. One Lotto 6/49 line has a 1 in 13,983,816 chance. The guide to lotto winning odds explains how these figures are worked out.
How do the odds of Canadian and US lotteries compare?
One Powerball line has a 1 in 292,201,338 chance of the jackpot, so it is a longer shot than Lotto Max. Larger number pools make the top prize harder to win. The lottery draws guide shows how a draw is run.
How do I buy a lottery ticket online?
Pick a lottery on this page, then choose one of the sites we rank that sells it. The guide to buying lottery tickets covers the steps, and the lottery scams guide lists the warning signs to check first.
Set the spend before you pick the numbers.
Most lottery lines win nothing. Decide a monthly amount you can lose, and use the deposit limits on the site you play at.
