How to read the results
A result here means the numbers drawn in one national game on one evening. This page explains each part of it and the labels we add.
The games at a glance
| Game | Numbers drawn | Draw nights |
|---|---|---|
| Lotto Max | 7 numbers out of 52 and a Bonus Number, eight different numbers from 1 to 52 | Tuesdays and Fridays |
| Lotto 6/49 | 6 numbers out of 49 and a Bonus Number, seven different numbers from 1 to 49 | Wednesdays and Saturdays |
| Daily Grand | 5 numbers out of 49 and a Grand Number from 1 to 7 | Mondays and Thursdays |
Formats and draw nights as set out by OLG in the Lotto Max, Lotto 6/49 and Daily Grand game conditions and on its Terminal Hours & Draw Info page; checked October 13, 2026. Lotto Max: the range of 1 to 52 applies from the draw of April 14, 2026; before that it was 1 to 50.
Main numbers and the extra number
We list the main numbers from lowest to highest, the way most results are printed, and put the extra number of the draw last in a separate circle.
- Bonus Number: Lotto Max and Lotto 6/49
- Drawn in the same draw as the main numbers and never equal to one of them. Players do not choose it; it counts only when it matches a number on the line.
- Grand Number: Daily Grand
- Drawn separately, from 1 to 7. Players choose it on the ticket next to their 5 main numbers and it is checked against that choice only; it can coincide with a main number of that draw, yet never stands in for one.
Source: the game conditions above and the WCLC Daily Grand page, which notes that the Grand Number may coincide with a main number but cannot replace it; checked October 13, 2026.
The labels beside a result
- Confirmed two independent results publishers post exactly the same numbers for the draw.
- Unconfirmed the first publisher has posted the numbers and the second has not caught up, or posted something else. The numbers are shown with this label, which changes once both agree.
- Under review the publishers disagree and neither can be preferred, so we show no numbers rather than risk a wrong set.
The time beside a result
The time after “Published here at” is when the numbers appeared on this site, by our own clock. It records when a result reached us, which can be well after the draw. We do not print draw times: a time on this site is always one we measured.
When a result changes
If a publisher corrects a draw after we posted it, we correct it as well and leave a note beside the numbers with the time of the change and the set we showed first. Nothing is replaced quietly.
What you will not find here
Add-ons and extra draws are not shown: ENCORE (OLG) and EXTRA (WCLC), the MAXPLUS and MAXMILLIONS draws of the Lotto Max game conditions and the Gold Ball Draw of the Lotto 6/49 game conditions, all checked October 13, 2026. Our results publishers do not post their numbers, and we do not fill gaps with guesses. Prize amounts and jackpots are left out for the same reason. We also never publish predictions, lucky or “hot” numbers, or systems: every draw is random.
To have your own numbers highlighted in every draw, use Check my numbers; where the numbers come from is explained on our sources.
Unconfirmed is a stage, not an error
A result marked Unconfirmed is on its way to Confirmed: the label tells you how far the cross-check has got, not that the numbers are wrong. It is not a final result either. Use an Unconfirmed draw for a first look at your ticket, and wait for Confirmed, or ask a retailer, before you decide anything about the ticket itself.
When another site shows different numbers
When two websites show different numbers, first make sure they show the same draw. Compare three things before deciding which one is wrong:
- the game, since each evening has only one national draw and a ticket belongs to one game;
- the date, because until new numbers arrive this site keeps the previous draw on screen, and another page may do the same;
- the label here, as an Unconfirmed result may still change if a publisher corrects it.
If the game and the date match and the numbers still differ, trust neither site: the winning numbers list of the lottery corporation that sold your ticket is the reference for any prize.
What ENCORE and EXTRA are
ENCORE and EXTRA are add-ons bought with a ticket, each with a number of its own that is drawn separately from the main numbers shown on this site. ENCORE, as OLG describes it, is a $1 game with 22 ways to win, matched digit by digit from the left, from the right or both (OLG’s ENCORE page).
EXTRA, as WCLC describes it, is a $1 add-on whose seven-digit number wins when its digits match the number drawn in exact order from the right-hand side (WCLC’s EXTRA page). Both pages were checked on October 13, 2026. Their results come from the corporation that sold the ticket.
Why there are no predictions here
Every combination has the same chance in each draw, so past results cannot point to the next numbers. The arithmetic behind that, worked through for one game, is under why we never publish hot numbers.
