Tickets with no expiry date listed on the back have expired. Of every dollar spent on Lottery tickets, approximately 49.7 percent goes back to players in the form of prizes. Lottery retail commissions are approximately 6.3 percent of sales. Western Canada Lottery Corporation operating expenses are approximately 5.8 percent of sales with ticket printing accounting for an additional 1.4 percent. The remaining 36.8 percent is revenue returned to WCLC's members - the governments of Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba and associate members Yukon Territory, the Northwest Territories and Nunavut.
Revenue is based on sales from each member province or territory.
Each provincial and territorial government establishes its own priorities for disbursement of Lottery funds. But if you are one number short of winning the Jackpot, make sure you check the Bonus Number on your ticket. It does not have to be completed before a notary of the public or any other legal representative. Should your group win, the appointed trustee can claim the prize for the group by presenting the winning ticket, two pieces of identification and the completed Group Buying Agreement. A Quick Pick is a Selection generated by the Ticket Terminal.
