Odds Of Winning Canada Lottery Games

Among the most popular draw-based games in Canada are Lotto 6/49 and Lotto Max. Lotto 6/49, one of Canada's first nationwide lottery games, has been a staple since 1982. It features a straightforward format where players pick six numbers from 49, and draws are held twice a week. Lotto Max, introduced in 2009, quickly gained popularity with its larger jackpots and a format that allows for multiple tiers of prizes. This game involves picking seven numbers, with jackpots that can reach up to $70 million.
