1. Set your play budget
Olg Online Sign In
Savvy sports bettors know there’s no way to guarantee a win. That’s why they set aside a play budget and only use money they can afford to lose. To do this, set aside a separate play budget and think of it as money you would spend on entertainment. Like tickets to a game.
2. Choose your sport
PRO•LINE lets you bet on American and Canadian Professional Football, Professional Hockey, Professional Basketball, Professional Baseball, American College Football, American College Basketball, and North American, South American, European and World Soccer. (PRO•LINE Soccer does not offer the Over/Under option for wagering).
View every PRO•LINE event available for wagering, and all associated odds on the PRO•LINE App, at PRO•LINE.ca or at an OLG retailer. You can also view Matchup Stats for many of the teams listed on the Event List.
Once you’ve made your predictions, you can choose to wager as little as $2 or as much as $100 per ticket per day.
TIP
Remember, the more you wager, the more you stand to win – or lose. Be sure to stick to your play budget and only bet money you can afford to lose.
Choose the events you want to wager on. You must select a minimum of 3 events and a maximum of 6 events using the selection slip available at your local OLG retailer or the PRO•LINE App. You can choose one of the V+, V, T, H, H+ outcomes, and/or one of the O, U outcomes. To play Over/Under, simply predict whether you think the total score of the game will be “Over” or “Under” the number set by OLG.
TIP
You do not have to play PRO•LINE to play PRO•LINE Over/Under. Each event is independent of the other and can be played separately.
For each event listed, you can select from the following outcomes. Remember, you must wager on 3 to 6 events in order for your ticket to be valid.
V+: VISITING TEAM wins by a greater number of points.
V: VISITING TEAM wins.
T: TIE GAME.
H: HOME TEAM wins.
H+: HOME TEAM wins by a greater number of points.
O: Predicts the total score of an event to be Over the number set by OLG.
U: Predicts the total score of an event to be Under the number set by OLG.
#: The number the player predicts the total score will be over or under.
The Over/Under options let you bet on the total score of an event, which means you don’t have to predict a specific winner.
Tip
Not all sports offer a “True Tie” result. Tie rules vary by sport. Be sure to check out the PRO•LINE Game Conditions opens in new window or detailed outcomes to learn more.
Matchup Stats are available for most events. You can view them by clicking on the link at the bottom of each game on the Event List. Matchup Stats display information to help guide your predictions, like ballpark stats, player performance, head-to-head details, recent trends and more.
But keep in mind, there’s no way to know for sure which team will come out on top.
TIP
While Matchup Stats can provide helpful guidance, they can’t help you predict with any guarantee of certainty.
5. Buy your PRO•LINE ticket
Present your completed selection slip to your OLG lottery retailer or have them scan your picks on the PRO•LINE App, and pay. Then, all you have to do is kick back and have fun cheering on your team – your wager will add extra excitement to the game whether you win or lose – it’s all part of the fun!

The PRO•LINE List Number
How do I know if I’ve won?
Get all your PRO•LINE selections correct, and you win. There are 4 ways to check your ticket:
1. Scan the ticket barcode using the ticket checker at a participating OLG retailer
2. Ask a participating retailer to scan the ticket barcode using the lottery terminal
3. View winning results by event at PRO•LINE.ca
4. Scan ticket barcode using the OLG Lottery App
There is no clear winner. Now what?
In sports, the rules of the game make it clear who wins and loses. In PRO•LINE, there are additional factors that affect whether your bet is a winner, including tie outcomes, PUSH results, or if an event is postponed or cancelled. As with any game of chance, the more you know about how to play PRO•LINE, the better informed you’ll be when making your selections.
Your potential payout is calculated by multiplying all event odds together and then multiplying that total against your wager. It looks like this:
(EVENT 1 ODDS X EVENT 2 ODDS X EVENT 3 ODDS) X WAGER = PAYOUT
If you get all your selections correct, you win!
TIP
While it’s fun to imagine how much you can win ahead of the actual outcome, upsets are common in sports and there’s no way to know for sure how a game will play out.
How to claim your prize
You can claim your prize, up to a certain amount of money, at your local OLG retailer. Prizes over the amounts redeemable at individual retailers must be collected at the OLG Prize Centre.

Ready To Play?
We’ve all imagined a lottery win. It could be the chance of a lifetime to win a massive jackpot by matching a set of numbers to those drawn.
What’s it all about? The luck of the draw.
The Object of the Game
To win a draw-based lottery, the numbers you pick must match some of the numbers drawn. When you buy your ticket, select a set of numbers, or a “line”. A line can be a set of five to seven numbers, ranging from 1 to 45, or 1 to 50, depending on the game.
The more numbers on one line you match to the draw numbers, the more you could win.
To win the jackpot, all your numbers must match the numbers drawn.
Breaking Down a Lottery Ticket
Here's what you need to know about the ticket for the games you choose to play.
A. The Game: This is the spot on the ticket that tells you which of the draw-based lottery games it’s for. Learn more about each game here.
B. The Draw: When’s the draw? This will show the date.
C. The Price: How much is the ticket? This will show the price.
D. The Line: This section is your “line” of numbers. Pick them yourself or let the lottery terminal generate random numbers for you.
Tip
However you pick your numbers, they all have an equal chance of winning.
E. Encore. This section of the ticket shows 2 things:
1) If you added Encore to your purchase, it will say, “Encore Played”
2) Your separate set of Encore numbers for the Encore draw. Learn more about Encore here.

Quick Pick:
A fast and easy way to play. Just ask a participating retailer for a Quick Pick and the lottery terminal’s random number generator chooses the lottery numbers for you.
Pick Your Own:
You choose the numbers you want to play. Simply fill out the selection slip at a participating retailer.
Tip
Whether you play with Quick Pick or pick your own numbers, the odds of winning stay the same.
The selection slip:
You choose your numbers on a paper selection slip provided at participating retailers. Simply select the required amount of numbers for each play in the game you’re playing. The slip has “boards” to fill in to complete your play; one board determines your line.
Once it’s completed, give your selection slip to a participating retailer and your ticket will be printed.

- Scan the barcode on the ticket using the OLG Lottery App

Tip
There’s an expiry date on prizes, so visit a retailer within 12 months of the draw date.
Lottery Draws
Draw-based lotteries use either a random ball-drop or random number generator for an exciting reveal of the winning numbers for LOTTO MAX, LOTTO 6/49, DAILY GRAND, LOTTARIO and ONTARIO 49. Both methods ensure a random result for every draw, and lottery balls are tested regularly for consistency in size and weight to keep it that way.
Watch the draws on their specific game pages on the OLG lottery website.
HOW JACKPOTS WORK
Olg Play Stage
Most lottery jackpots are progressive, which means jackpots that are not won roll over between successive draws and get larger. LOTTO MAX, LOTTO 6/49 and LOTTARIO are examples of lotteries that features progressive jackpots. These jackpots can be won by multiple winners.
