BEFORE YOU CHOOSE A GAME, CHECK THE PRIZES

For those looking to play games with more top prizes, you can track these at OLG.ca.

INSTANT games are only available for a specific period of time. Games with top prizes of $100,000 or more are immediately removed from sale when all top prizes have been claimed.

DON’T CHASE YOUR LOSSES

Some might think it’s a strategy to win back losses by buying more tickets. But it really doesn’t work that way. INSTANT tickets are simply meant to be a fun moment in the day.

To keep it fun, it’s best to accept that you may lose. And at other times, you may win!

WILL 1 OUT OF ANY 4 TICKETS I BUY WIN?

Beating the odds is never a strategy. If odds are 1 in 3.75, you are not necessarily guaranteed to win if you buy 4 tickets, because those are the overall odds across all tickets in the game.

You could buy 4 tickets and win on all 4, win on none, or win on some. It’s random chance.

DOES IT HELP TO PLAY MORE OFTEN?

Playing more often only guarantees you’ll spend more money. Since the outcomes of the instant win are random, you could win back-to-back, sometimes or never.

Make sure not to treat INSTANT games as a way to win back money you’ve lost. The more you play in the long run, the more you’re likely to lose.

Be careful not to go overboard buying tickets. Playing it smart and sticking to your budget is the best way to keep your play focused on fun.
