Poker Lotto Overview
The Poker Lotto game (called Lotto Poker in Quebec) is played across four provinces in Canada and is individually operated by the Ontario Lottery, Western Canada Lottery, Loto Quebec, and Atlantic Lottery.
Poker Lotto has two games. There is the Instant Win game which is played immediately after the purchase of the ticket and the main draw which takes place in the evening. Each entry costs $2.00 and selections are Quick Pick only.
Participants get five cards as in a traditional poker hand and, if a ticket includes a pair of 10s or better, they win an instant prize. Players can also play for the All-In jackpot.
