Canada Lottery Games

Daily Grand is usually the clearest starting point if you want stronger jackpot-style odds than the biggest national draws: you pick 5 numbers from 1 to 49 plus a Grand Number from 1 to 7, and the top prize is a fixed $1,000 CAD a day for life (or the cash option). Lotto 6/49 sits in the middle with a classic 6-from-49 matrix and a Bonus Ball, while Lotto Max is the flagship rollover game (7 from 1 to 52 plus a Bonus) built for larger jackpots and longer odds. Provincial lottery corporations sell these national games alongside any regional products they offer. Compare current odds, ticket prices, and prize tiers for Daily Grand, Lotto 6/49, Lotto Max in the table above.

Lotto Max is Canada's largest national jackpot game: pick 7 numbers from 1 to 52, a Bonus number is drawn, and the jackpot rolls until it is won. Lotto 6/49 uses a smaller 6-from-49 matrix plus a Bonus Ball, so jackpot odds are typically stronger than Lotto Max, while advertised top prizes are usually smaller. Both are national products sold through provincial lottery retailers (for example OLG, BCLC, Loto-Québec, and Atlantic Lottery). Daily Grand adds a third option with a fixed top-prize structure instead of a climbing jackpot. See each game page above for rules, prize tables, and latest results.

Major national games like Lotto Max, Lotto 6/49, and Daily Grand share the same draw results nationwide, but tickets are sold and prizes are paid through your provincial or regional lottery corporation. Draw nights, sales cutoffs, and claim rules can vary slightly by province, so always check the local cutoff before buying. These are Canada-operated products sold under provincial lottery rules. Use the comparison table above for draw days and the Canada drawing calendar for schedules.

Daily Grand generally offers the strongest path to its top prize among the three flagship national games, followed by Lotto 6/49, then Lotto Max with the longest jackpot odds and the largest rollover upside. The trade-off is prize shape: Lotto Max chases big rolling jackpots, Lotto 6/49 balances mid-size jackpots with better odds, and Daily Grand pays a lifetime or cash top prize rather than a climbing annuity-style headline. Lower prize tiers on each game still pay for partial matches. Review published odds and current jackpots for Daily Grand, Lotto 6/49, Lotto Max in the table above.

Lotto Max is typically $6 CAD per play (each play includes four lines), Lotto 6/49 is typically $3 CAD per play, and Daily Grand is typically $3 CAD per play. Regional or additional national products may use different prices. Lottery prizes in Canada are generally received tax-free at the federal level; provincial rules still govern how and where you claim. Compare ticket prices and prize structures for every Canada game in the table above.

Lotto Max jackpots start at a published minimum and grow with ticket sales until someone matches all seven main numbers. Lotto 6/49 follows the same rollover idea on a smaller matrix. Daily Grand's top prize is structured as $1,000 CAD a day for life (or a cash option), so it does not climb like a classic jackpot. Advertised amounts on this page update after official draws. Canadian lottery prizes are generally received without a US-style tax withholding layer. Check each game page for the latest verified jackpot or top-prize details.

Start with Daily Grand if you want a clear top-prize story and relatively approachable jackpot-style odds, then try Lotto 6/49 for the classic national draw format. Move to Lotto Max when you specifically want the biggest national rollover.
