DREAM DRAWS
From February 2 to February 27, 2026, players who buy a $5 LOTTO MAX ticket in-store at a lottery terminal will automatically receive a DREAM DRAWS selection on a separate promotional ticket for a chance to win one of over 750 weekly guaranteed prizes up to $10,000.
The DREAM DRAWS promotional ticket will automatically print from the lottery terminal after the qualifying LOTTO MAX purchase is processed.
Yes, DREAM DRAWS is available at all OLG retail location lottery terminals.
It is not available at retail on Self-Serve Terminals (SST) or through Lotto Express or Quick Ticket purchases.
DREAM DRAWS is not available on OLG.ca.
We are looking forward to offering new promotions for both retail and OLG.ca purchases in the future.
DREAM DRAWS is available in Ontario only.
No, a DREAM DRAWS selection consists of one (1) unique eight (8) digit number, randomly chosen by the Corporation’s central computer system. To ensure there is only one winning ticket for each prize, each ticket must be unique. If customers were to choose their own numbers, there would always be the possibility that two players could select the same DREAM DRAWS number, and therefore, have to split a prize.
No, ENCORE is not available with DREAM DRAWS.
DREAM DRAWS offers the following weekly prizes:
| Number of Weekly Draw Prizes | Prize Amount | Odds of Winning |

2 | $10,000 | |

30 | $250 | |
100 | $100 | |
600 | $50 |
As winning selections for DREAM DRAWS will be drawn only from those issued, overall odds of winning any prize are dependent on the number of selections issued.
Yes. All prizes are guaranteed to be won, as draws will only include DREAM DRAWS selections that were issued. Players will have one year from the draw date to claim any prizes.
A prize can only be awarded after a winning ticket is presented for validation and approved for payment. While the vast majority of lottery prizes are claimed by customers, there is always some possibility that a winning ticket might not be presented for payment or that the prize claim is not approved.
Players will have one year from the draw date to claim any prizes.

Each DREAM DRAWS ticket will list the draw for which the selection(s) is eligible.
