What you are playing
LOTTO 6/49 in four lines
LOTTO 6/49 launched in June 1982 as the first national Canadian lottery that let players choose their own numbers. A $3 play buys one Classic Draw line of 6 numbers from 1 to 49, drawn every Wednesday and Saturday along with a bonus number that lifts two of the lower tiers. Matching all six wins the jackpot at 1 in 13,983,816, while a prize of any size lands about 1 in 6.6 lines, usually the $10 fixed prize or a free play. The same ticket also carries a Gold Ball Draw number, which is a separate raffle and is left out here. Can you find a winning combination over 10 years?

Your usual numbers
Fill in the grids you always play
Pick 6 numbers from 1 to 49 for each line. Every line costs $3 per draw, and the simulation replays them against every draw in the range you choose.
The hindsight machine
Try to find a winning combination
A jackpot line is just the six numbers of some past draw. With 1,102 draws on record, roughly one line in 12,689 would have hit a 6/6 at some point. Let the browser guess at random until it finds one, and it lands in the grid above.
LOTTO 6/49 pays a prize on about 1 in 6.6 lines, and most of those prizes are the $3 free play or the $10 fixed prize. A lottery ticket is entertainment, and you must be of legal age in your province to buy one. If gambling is costing you more than you want it to, GameSense has free tools and information on how the odds work and how to keep play under control, and every province runs its own support line.
What does the lottery simulator show?
A lottery simulator replays the same chosen numbers against published historical draws and totals what the tickets would have cost and paid. It demonstrates the long-run arithmetic of a repeated lottery habit, but it cannot predict a future draw because every valid number combination has the same chance each time.
Complete at least one valid six-number line and choose the historical draw range before interpreting the replay. The completed explanation will separate ticket spending, cash prizes, free-play value, wins, and the final net result without suggesting that past draws improve the odds of the next ticket.
Frequently asked questions
How does the lottery simulator work?
You fill in the numbers you normally play, choose how many lines you buy and how often, then the simulator replays those exact lines against every draw in the range you picked. It adds up what each ticket cost, what each prize tier paid, and shows the running total.
Are the draw results real?
Yes. The simulator uses official published LOTTO 6/49 Classic Draw results, including the winning numbers, bonus number, and published payout per winning ticket for each prize tier. The archive currently covers the detailed-results history published by Loto-Québec.
What are the odds of winning LOTTO 6/49?
The published odds are 1 in 13,983,816 for the 6/6 Classic jackpot, 1 in 2,330,636 for 5/6 plus the bonus, 1 in 55,492 for 5/6, 1 in 1,033 for 4/6, 1 in 56.7 for 3/6, 1 in 81.2 for 2/6 plus the bonus, and 1 in 8.3 for the 2/6 free play. Any prize at all comes up about 1 in 6.6 lines.
Do some numbers come up more often than others?
No. Every number has the same chance in every draw, and a past draw has no effect on the next one. Playing birthdays or a long-standing set of numbers does not change your odds, though picking numbers above 31 slightly reduces the chance of sharing a jackpot with other players who used dates.
Why does the simulator count free plays separately?
A 2/6 match pays a free play rather than cash. It has real value, so the simulator counts it at the ticket price, but it is shown on its own line because you cannot spend it anywhere except on another ticket.
Is this tool gambling advice?
No. It is a maths toy that shows what a long-running lottery habit tends to cost. It does not predict future draws, and nothing here is financial advice. You must be of legal age in your province to buy lottery tickets.
