Ontario Lottery & Gaming Corporation
The Ontario Lottery & Gaming Corporation – the OLGC or more commonly known as the OLG – is the Canadian Lottery company that runs and organises all Canadian Lotteries within the Canadian province of Ontario.
As well as organising Ontario Lotto games – the OLG operates casinos and slot machines at many sites throughout Ontario.
The Ontario Lottery & Gaming Corporation is owned by the government of Ontario, Canada and has been operating in the Province now for over 30 years – having started life as the Ontario Lottery Corporation – OLC – before merging with the Ontario Casino Corporation – the OCC – back in April 2000.
The OLC has its main headquarters based in Toronto, Ontario.
Ontario Lottery Corporation – Overview
The Ontario Lottery began life as the Ontario Lottery Corporation – OLC – in February 1975 when it was originally formed by the provincial government of Ontario, Canada.
In its earliest days the OLC offered just one regional Canadian Lottery game – WINTARIO – which had its very first draw back on May 15th 1975 and was incredibly popular right up until the inaugural game was discontinued towards the end of 1996.
In November 1978 – the Ontario Lottery Corporation began another new lottery game – LOTTARIO – which is still very popular today before – in June 1982 – it joined Canada’s Inter Provincial Lottery Corporation – ILC – and began to offer the flagship nation-wide Canadian Lottery game – Lotto 649.
The Lotto 649 was and still is the most popular of all Canadian Lotteries both in Ontario and across Canada. The ILC launched another nation-wide Canadian Lottery – the Lotto Super 7 in May 1994 – which Ontario Lottery also sold throughout the province of Ontario until it was discontinued by the ILC in September 2009.
The third national Canadian Lottery to be offered by the Ontario Lotto was the LOTTO MAX which was first introduced by the ILC in September 2009 to replace the retiring Lotto Super 7 game.
Ontario Lottery Corporation – Games
Lotto 6 49
By far and away the most well known, most popular and most widely played out of all the many Canadian Lotteries is the countrywide, flagship Canadian Lottery game – Lotto 649.
The Lotto 649 is a game that is available right across Canada (as well as overseas with some online lottery ticket companies) and has produced one of the largest Canadian jackpots to date at CAN$ 64 MILLION. At times it is said – as many as 2 out of every 3 Canadian residents have bought lottery tickets for the game.
The nation-wide Lotto 649 game began in Canada back in 1982 with the very first Lotto 649 tickets first being sold right across the country on June 4th 1982. The first jackpot available was half a million Canadian dollars – a far cry from today's multi-millions.
The very first Lotto 649 draw took place on June 12th 1982 and it was the first Canadian lottery game that allowed players to pick their own numbers. Previous Canadian Lotto games used pre-printed serial numbers on the lottery tickets but the 649 Lottery now made these older types of lottery tickets a thing of the past.
Lotto 649 – Overview
The Lotto 649 is a traditional draw-style, pick 6 lotto game of the Interprovincial Lottery Corporation. It is the ILC flagship game & is a Canada-wide lottery that gives you the chance to win huge jackpots that can rise to as much as many multi-millions for just 3 dollars.
The game uses a matrix of 6/49 and the ILC make the draw twice every week on Wednesdays and Saturdays at 10.30pm EST.
The jackpot normally starts at a figure of CAN$ 5 MILLION and if this jackpot figure is not won, the sum will be added onto the next 649 Lotto draw by way of a jackpot rollover. You can check just how big the latest Lotto 649 rollover figure is right here.
The jackpot will then increase in size draw after draw until the top prize is finally won meaning that this Canada Lotto results in some truly massive jackpot figures to be won quite frequently.
Lotto 649 draws take place at the ILC Headquarters in Toronto.
Lotto 649 – How it Works
The Canadian Lottery – Lotto 649 – uses what’s known as a 6/49 matrix which means that when playing this 649 lottery you will need to select your own set of 6 numbers out of a number pool ranging from 1 to 49 – should you successfully select all 6 of the numbers that are drawn by the ILC you will be a Lotto 649 jackpot winner.
As well as the 6 main numbers, a 7th number is drawn. This is the bonus number and it is drawn following the 6 main numbers to determine the lucky winners on prize winning levels 2 and 6.
In addition to the jackpot itself, there are 6 further ways in which you can win on this Canadian Lottery – with prizes to be won if you match either 5 of the main numbers plus the bonus number, 5 main numbers, 4 main numbers, 3 main numbers, 2 main numbers plus the bonus number or even just 2 of the main numbers.
A Quick Pick facility is available when playing the 649 Lotto - very much the same as the Lucky Dip option that is used in the UK National Lottery or Europe’s Euro-Millions or the Quick Pick of many other Canadian Lotteries and USA Lottery games – which means that you can ask for the lottery retailer or computer to randomly select all your 649 Lotto numbers for your entry.
So, playing the 649 Lotto is easy…just select your own 6 numbers, or request them to be randomly generated for you either by using the Quick Pick option or using an random number generator online – then simply check for the very latest Lotto 649 results.
The cost of playing the Lotto 649 is just CAN$ 3.00 per game.
Lotto 649 – Who Can Play?
As with most Canada Lottery & USA Lottery games – in the past – only residents of Canada were allowed to play in any of the Canadian Lottery games including those run by the ILC such as the Lotto 649 or any Ontario Lottery Games. You used to have to buy your Lotto 649 tickets from an authorized retailer in Canada.
Nowadays, though, with a good number of online lottery ticket sales agencies in the world like TheLotter or Smart Winners who are both authorized and genuine - you are able to select your Lotto 649 numbers online and purchase your tickets from anywhere in the world, no matter where you may be living.
This is great news of course if you live outside of Canada and want to play the Lotto 649 and ensure your entry into the next draw or just want to have the convenience & ease of being able to buy lottery tickets online from the comfort of your own home.
Once you have entered into the draw, you can then quickly and easily check the Lotto 649 results online to see how you have done and to find out if you have become one of the lucky winners.
In Ontario itself you will need to be at least 18 years of age to play any Ontario Lottery games including the Lotto 649 and Lotto MAX.
