Canada Lotto 649 Results
Canada Lotto 6/49 results can be as sweet as maple syrup to those who are fortunate enough to win a jackpot or a hefty consolation prize. When you check the results you will see that there are seven numbers drawn in each Canada 6/49 game. The first six are main numbers (you need to match all of those to win the jackpot itself) and the seventh is a Bonus Ball number. The Bonus Ball isn’t required for the jackpot but it plays a vital role in determining whether a player wins a third-tier consolation prize or a much bigger second-tier prize. The odds of winning any prize at all with a single entry are around 1 in 32.

Canada Lotto 6/49 jackpots are always worth at least $3.5 million, and if more than one ticket matches all six main numbers then those tickets share the jackpot equally. When no ticket wins the jackpot the prize fund for the top prize is rolled over to the next draw, and if repeated rollovers occur it doesn’t take long for jackpots to soar. The biggest of all Canada 6/49 jackpots that have been won so far was worth $54.3 million, and that prize was won by an Alberta syndicate of 17 oil and gas workers in October 2005.

Like many other lotteries which are based on a 6 from 49 matrix, the Canada 6/49 game takes place twice a week, every Wednesday and Saturday. Players can buy their lottery tickets for each draw in turn or they can choose to play the same numbers for several consecutive draws in advance. A similar advance play option is available to those who participate in the game online, which makes things easy for those who never want to miss a draw.
Canada Lotto 649 Draw Information
The Canada Lotto 6/49 lottery game (also known simply as Lotto 6/49 by many players) was launched in June, 1982, and what set it apart from earlier lottery games in Canada is that it allowed players to select their own numbers. Other games that existed in the country at that time assigned lottery numbers to players automatically, so making it possible for players to choose their own selections (something that is now taken for granted by many lottery participants) made Canada 6/49 quite unique.
There are six prize levels in the Canada lotto 6/49 game, including the jackpot itself. The Bonus Ball is required (along with five main numbers) to win a second-tier prize and also (along with two main numbers) to win a sixth tier prize. All other prizes are won by matching anything from three to five main numbers.
Regions
Canada Lotto 6/49 is operated by the Interprovincial Lottery Commission, which comprises five separate lottery organisations, each governing a different area of the country. Those commissions are (in alphabetical order): the Atlantic Lottery Corporation, the British Columbia Lottery Corporation, Loto-Québec, the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation and the Western Canada Lottery Corporation.
