ENCORE
What is ENCORE?
ENCORE is an add-on lottery game that can be played with a host lottery game such as LOTTO MAX, LOTTO 6/49, DAILY GRAND, ONTARIO 49, LOTTARIO, PICK-2, PICK-3, PICK-4 and DAILY KENO.
How much does it cost and what are the prizes?
For $1 per play, ENCORE offers players an extra chance to win up to an additional $1 million on their ticket. There are 22 ways to win with ENCORE – win by matching your ENCORE numbers from right to left or left to right.

How many combinations of numbers are available with ENCORE?
There are 10 million ENCORE combinations from 0000000 to 9999999. When a player says "Yes" to ENCORE, a seven-digit number is randomly selected to be printed on the ticket. Numbers will start to repeat after all 10 million possible combinations are sold.
Is there a separate ENCORE prize structure for each host game?
There is ONE prize structure that applies to all ENCORE purchases for any draw date. There are two ENCORE numbers drawn daily – one for the MIDDAY draw games and one for the EVENING draw games. The ENCORE number drawn applies to all host games for the same draw period. For example, if a player purchases a LOTTO 6/49 with ENCORE, ONTARIO 49 with ENCORE and PICK-3 with ENCORE for a Saturday night draw, the one ENCORE number drawn on that Saturday night will apply to all of these ENCORE purchases.
How can ENCORE be played for draws in advance?
ENCORE can be purchased in advance with the purchase of any host game (i.e., PICK-2, PICK-3, PICK-4, LOTTO MAX, LOTTO 6/49, DAILY GRAND, DAILY KENO, LOTTARIO and ONTARIO 49). The number of advance ENCORE draws purchased must be the same as the number of host game draws purchased (e.g., if a player buys a five-draw LOTTO 6/49 Advance Play and also wants ENCORE, then the player must purchase at least one ENCORE selection for each of the five host game draws).
