How Lotto 6/49 works

Pick six numbers from 1 to 49, or take a Quick Pick. Each play also gets a 10-digit Gold Ball number entered in a separate guaranteed-winner draw.

Match all six main numbers to win or share the Classic jackpot. The bonus number pays the second tier (5/6 + bonus).

Available at Alberta retailers and on PlayAlberta. Sales close 7:30 pm MT on draw nights.

Every $3 play enters two draws: the Classic Draw (rolling jackpot starting at $5 million) and the Gold Ball Draw, which guarantees a $1 million winner or a growing gold-ball jackpot.

The honest math: jackpot odds are 1 in 13,983,816 (classic jackpot). Playing more does not make a win "due" — every draw is independent. Treat a ticket as entertainment spending, never as a plan.

Draw schedule

Lotto 6/49 draws happen wednesdays and saturdays. Sales cut off at 7:30 pm MT on draw days; tickets bought after the cutoff go to the following draw. Matrix: 6 numbers from 1–49.
