What is the Daily Grand Lotto?

The Daily Grand Lotto, also known as The Daily Grand, is a Canadian lottery game operated by Atlantic Lottery Corporation (ALC) in five participating provinces: New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland and Labrador, Prince Edward Island, and Ontario. It was launched on August 3, 2015, with the aim of providing players with an opportunity to win significant cash prizes.

Game Overview

The Daily Grand Lotto is a daily lottery game where players can purchase tickets for $3 each. Players choose six numbers dailygrand-lotto.ca from a pool of 1-46 for the main draw and also pick one number from a separate pool of 1-7 for the “Lucky Number” bonus round.

To play, participants must select six distinct numbers between 1 and 46, as well as one additional number from 1 to 7. Each ticket offers two draws: the first is the main draw, which requires at least three matching regular balls (numbers 1-46) to win a cash prize; in addition to the Lucky Number bonus round.

How the Concept Works

The Daily Grand Lotto operates on a simple concept:

• Players buy tickets with their selected numbers for $3 each.
• A random draw of six main balls from the number pool takes place, followed by an additional lucky number drawing.
• Matching three or more regular drawn balls in any order wins cash prizes ranging from $250 to the top jackpot (maximum prize).
• Each ticket allows one entry into both draws.

Types and Variations

The Daily Grand Lotto offers standard tickets for $3 each, but players can also opt for add-ons like:

• The “Extra” feature costs an additional $1 per ticket.
• This increases the potential payouts by increasing the number of winning combinations from 10 to 36 ways.

Legal and Regional Context

The game is operated and governed by Atlantic Lottery Corporation (ALC), a multi-provincial agency with operations in New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland and Labrador, Prince Edward Island, and Ontario.
