Lottery participation should be an enjoyable entertainment activity. We are committed to providing a secure and responsible environment for all users.
Guiding Principles
Making informed choices is key to ensuring participation remains a positive experience. We encourage all users to keep the following principles in mind:
Keep it Entertaining: View lottery participation as a form of entertainment, not as a source of income or a solution to financial problems.
Know the Rules: Understand how each provincial lottery works before participating. Official rules and draw information are available through the lottery corporations.
Stay Within a Budget: Decide on a budget for entertainment, including lottery tickets, and stick to it. Never spend more than you can comfortably afford to lose.
Understand the Nature of Lotteries: Remember that lottery outcomes are based entirely on chance. There are no systems or strategies that can increase the likelihood of a specific outcome.
Maintain a Balanced Lifestyle: Ensure that lottery participation does not interfere with your personal, professional, or family responsibilities.
Recognizing Potential Issues
It can be helpful to reflect on your habits from time to time. If you are concerned about your own participation or that of someone you know, consider the following questions:
Are you spending more money or time on lottery activities than you intend to?
Has participation stopped being fun?
Are you borrowing money to purchase tickets?
Are you hiding your participation from family or friends?
Do you feel that you need to participate to escape from worries or problems?
If you answered "yes" to one or more of these questions, it may be helpful to speak with someone. There are many free, confidential resources available across Canada.
