How to play Lotto
You can play the Lotto, Lotto Plus 1 and Lotto Plus 2 games by choosing a Quick Pick option, where the lottery processing system randomly chooses six lucky numbers for you.
Alternatively, a bet can be placed by a person choosing six numbers from 1 to 52 on any board.
There is no limit to the number of boards a person wants to play, and the system also allows a multi-draw option. This option allows you to play the same numbers over multiple draws.
