Canada – Lotto 649 Information
The Canada Lotto 649 is everyone’s favourite national lottery, known for its record jackpots and easy-to-play format. The lotto reveals the rules of the game in its name: guess 6 out of 49 numbers to win the jackpot!
Canada Lotto 649 History
The Canada Lotto 649 was created in 1982 by the ILC (Interprovincial Lottery Corporation) that oversees all of Canada’s nationwide lotteries. The lotto initially happened only on Saturdays, but in 1985 the ILC began to hold the lottery game to twice a week. In 2004, the price of the lottery tickets was increased together with the starting jackpot, raising the starting amount of the big first prize from CAD$ 2 million to CAD$ 3 million, which rose again to CAN$ 5 million in September 2013! Since the lotto’s creation, there have been more than 300 winners of over CAD$ 1 million.
Canada Lotto 649 was the first Canadian lottery to offer players the option to select their own numbers instead of receiving pre-printed numbers or raffle tickets.
