From September 5 to October 21, 2024, customers can enter LOTTO MAX tickets purchased during the contest period for a chance to win the $1 million grand prize plus thirty (30) weekly $10,000 prizes each week over the 6-week contest. To earn entries into the contest, participants must enter LOTTO MAX tickets purchased in-store on this website or set up their PlayNow account to have eligible online purchases automatically entered on their behalf.

It's easy!

Step 1: Register or Sign In
First, you’ll need to register for a contest account. If you have previously participated in a BCLC online contest such as Tech the Halls or Crossword, simply sign in using the same email and password.

Step 2: Enter Your Tickets
To earn contest entries from tickets you purchased in-store from a lottery retailer, log in and scan your ticket(s) with your mobile device (preferred) or the webcam on your desktop computer.

To have your online tickets purchased on PlayNow automatically entered into the contest, follow the steps detailed here. Once you’ve completed those steps, eligible online purchases will be automatically entered on your behalf.

Check out the Official Contest Rules and Regulations for information on how to enter without purchase.

Earn one (1) contest entry for every $1 spent on LOTTO MAX (add-ons such as Extra not included). Each entry qualifies for the $1 million grand prize draw, plus the thirty (30) $10,000 weekly draws for the week in which your ticket is entered. For example, if you enter a ticket on September 5, 2024, it will be entered into the grand prize draw plus the thirty (30) draws of $10,000 from all entries collected between September 5, 2024, at 3:00:00 AM EDT until Monday, September 16, 2024, at 2:59:59 AM EDT.

Step 3: Check Your Entries
Check your TICKET HISTORY to see your entries earned from in-store purchases for each weekly draw and for the grand prize draw. Eligible entries earned from online purchases can be viewed on your PlayNow account promotions page. If you still have questions about your total number of contest entries, please visit our support site.

Due to technical limitations, we are unfortunately not able to accurately display online ticket purchase totals on this website at this time. For the number of contest entries from online purchases, visit your PlayNow account. If you still have questions about your total number of contest entries, please visit our support site.

1. Make sure you are in a well-lit location
2. Turn up the brightness setting on your device
3. Ensure there are no folds, scratches or tears that may make the ticket unreadable
4. Ensure the ticket is laying flat and on a plain background. Your phone’s camera may have trouble scanning the code if it’s tilted at an angle
5. Make sure the entire barcode at the bottom of your ticket is visible to the camera
6. If you're holding the phone too close or too far away, it may not scan the ticket. Try holding the phone about a foot away and slowly moving it towards the barcode
7. If you are using your computer’s webcam, try logging in to this website with your mobile device and scan tickets with the camera on your mobile phone or tablet

Your participation is important to us! If you are still having issues scanning tickets, contact the BCLC Support Centre at 1-866-815-0222.
