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.
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.

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.
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.
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).
