The additional chances of winning big are what makes this type of lottery product much more enchanting for the players. Four of those CA$1-million prizes were bagged by ticket holders that had purchased their ticket ahead of the April 10 draw. Two of them made the winning purchase in the Prairies region, whereas the remaining two hail from the Ontario region. Lottery corporation overseeing the field recently made some changes.

There has been an agreement between the five Crown corporations overseeing lottery products and gaming so that all players have equal chances of winning big.
