You must pay the lottery retailer before receiving your ticket. Each hand costs $2 for POKER LOTTO plus $1 per hand to add ALL IN.

Watch the cards dealt on the video screen of the lottery terminal to see if your 5-card hand is a winner per the INSTANT prize structure.

OLG limits the total prize amount payable on the draw portion of the game (5 of 5, 4 of 5, 3 of 5 and 2 of 5) to $1 million per draw. Should the aggregate of the prizes on the draw portion of the game that are available to be won by all winning tickets in any draw result in the draw portion of the game exceed $1 million, the prize amounts on the draw portion of the game are reduced and are determined in proportion to the amount that would, except for this provision, otherwise have been won on the draw.

Unclaimed prizes from Ontario-only Lotto, Sports and INSTANT Games are directed to profits paid to the provincial government to benefit the people of Ontario.
