CASH POP™
CASH POP is a new OLG draw-based lottery game that offers players the chance to win by matching only one number. Players choose one or more POPS (numbers) from 1 to 15 and wager $2, $5, $10, or $20 per POP. The ticket displays a randomly generated prize amount beneath each chosen number. If OLG draws that number, the player wins the prize shown. Prizes range from 5X to 250X the wager amount.
CASH POP is available beginning October 6, 2026, on OLG.ca and at OLG retail lottery and self-serve terminals.
CASH POP is a daily game that can be played up to five times a day. Approximate draw times each day are:
- Morning (9:30 AM ET)
- Matinee (1:30 PM ET)
- Rush Hour (4:00 PM ET)
- Prime Time (7:30 PM ET)
- Night Owl (11:30 PM ET)
Players can choose to wager $2, $5, $10 or $20 for each POP selected. The number of POPS selected can range from 1 to 15.
Total Cost = Number of POPS x Wager x Number of selected Draws.
Yes. Players can play 1-15 POPS on each ticket.

Yes. CASH POP numbers can be selected verbally at retail, via a selection slip or manually entered on a Self-Serve Terminal (SST). CASH POP numbers can also be selected by Quick Pick.

Yes. Players can select up to 5 draws in advance with CASH POP at retail only. A separate ticket will print for each draw. Advance Play is not available on OLG.ca.
Yes, players can repurchase their CASH POP ticket in-store only. When repurchasing, a player’s POP (number) will remain the same, but the potential prize amount may change since it will once again be randomly generated. Repurchase is not available on the Self-Serve Terminal or OLG.ca.
The potential prize amount is randomly generated when a CASH POP ticket prints at retail, so players must pay for each ticket before the retailer can process the transaction.
No. Since CASH POP potential prizes are not known until a ticket prints, retailers are not able to cancel tickets. Online CASH POP tickets also cannot be cancelled after purchase.

The maximum potential prize amount per POP at a wager of $2, $5, $10, or $20 is as follows:
- $2 Wager – up to $500
- $5 Wager – up to $1,250
- $10 Wager – up to $2,500

No. CASH POP prizes are not guaranteed to be won.
If a player purchases a ticket with all 15 POPS the prize won may be less than the cost of the ticket. In CASH POP, the prize associated with the winning POP can range from 5 to 250 times the wager amount as per the game's prize structure.
While selecting all 15 numbers (POPS) guarantees that a player will match the winning CASH POP number drawn by OLG, the prize won is based on the randomly generated prize amount assigned to the winning POP. As with all lotteries, purchasing a ticket does not guarantee a particular prize outcome.
Yes, since potential prizes are randomly generated, they can differ for the same wager amount. Prizes range from 5X to 250X the wager amount with CASH POP.
