An OLG Online Lottery Subscription allows you to purchase selections for future draws, paying as you go so you never forget to buy your ticket.  

Select the number of draws (up to 999) you want to play or choose ‘Never Miss a Draw’ to continue playing until you decide to cancel. You can select your own numbers or have your numbers chosen randomly with ‘Auto Pick.’ 

Two payment options are available:

DIRECT PAY: Pay for your subscription directly. We accept Debit Cards from Visa and Mastercard and Credit cards from Visa, Mastercard and American Express. You can easily manage your subscription without worrying about your balance.

MY BALANCE: Use funds deposited into your OLG.ca account e-wallet to pay for your subscription. You must have enough cash in your e-wallet before each draw. Banks may charge cash-advance fees with this option.

Your subscription will automatically cancel if four consecutive draws are missed due to insufficient funds.

Yes. Your future tickets will have the same set of main draw numbers as your first subscription ticket whether you manually picked your numbers or used the Auto Pick option.

If you have Lottery Bonus Funds and want to use them, please complete your purchase using the My Balance option. We’ll use your Bonus Funds first and then use your Cash Wallet to fund the remainder of the purchase.

If there aren’t enough funds in your Cash or Lottery Bonus balance to purchase a ticket for the next draw, your transaction will not be completed.

You’ll be prompted to deposit funds into your account and OLG can re-attempt the purchase every day around 8 a.m. and around 4 p.m. (for PICKS’ and DAILY KENO’s evening draw).

If there are issues with the credit card associated with your Direct Pay purchase, your transaction will not be completed. You may use an alternative credit card by storing up to three on your account or deposit funds into your wallet. Click here to learn more about Subscriptions.

Your Lottery Subscription may not have been processed due to one of the following reasons:

• You had insufficient funds in your e-wallet for the next draw if using My Balance. If sufficient funds are deposited within the automatic purchase window, we’ll attempt to fulfill your subscription.

• With Direct Pay you are only charged for tickets that are successfully purchased. Please note that funds could be reserved on your card. These funds are generally released immediately, but for some financial institutions, it could take up to 3-5 business days. You can contact your card issuer for further details.  
  You can try to purchase any tickets that were unsuccessful again, but they will be billed as part of a separate transaction.

• You reached your Lottery Purchase Limit for the week. Once your Lottery Purchase Limit resets, your subscription will automatically continue to purchase tickets for the upcoming draws.

Your Lottery Subscription may have been automatically paused due to the following reason:

• You took a break using ‘My PlaySmart’. Don’t worry! Your subscription will resume once you log in after your break is over. 

• Your Lottery Subscription may have been automatically cancelled due to one of the following reasons:

• You had insufficient funds for four consecutive draws.

• Your OLG account has been closed.

• Reach out to Player Support to figure out what is the best next step for your subscription situation. 

For liability purposes, there are limits to how many unique number selections can be purchased for each PICK-4 draw. OLG will suspend Straight Play and Box Play PICK-4 wagering for any 4-digit number that has exceeded a total potential prize liability of $1 million for any given draw. 

For PICK-2, OLG limits the total number of a specific 2-digit number selections issued to approximately 17,000 selections. 

If a liability limit is reached before the subscription ticket is purchased, the purchase will not be completed. If you want to ensure that you get to play your number every time for games like PICK-2 and PICK-4, you may prefer to try Advance Play at an OLG Lottery Retailer. 

Learn more about liability limits in the official PICK-2 Game Conditions and the official PICK-4 Game Conditions. 

Unfortunately, no. If you subscribe to our PICKS Games or DAILY KENO, your tickets will be purchased for all upcoming daily midday and evening draws, until your subscription is completed or cancelled.

Advance Play is only offered in retail locations and allows you to buy tickets for up to 26 weeks on a wider selection of games.

No, a Free Play does not replace your subscription purchase. Any Free Play is considered an additional play that is above and beyond any plays purchased for your Subscription. If you don’t have sufficient funds in your account to fulfil your subscription, a Free Play will not take the place of your subscription play.
