Lotto 6/49 is a popular lottery game in Canada where players select six numbers from a pool of 49. Drawings are held twice a week, typically on Wednesdays and Saturdays. To win the jackpot, players must match all six numbers drawn. There are also smaller prizes for matching fewer numbers. The game was introduced in 1982 and has since become one of the most recognized lotteries in the country. Players can purchase tickets at authorized retailers or online. A portion of the ticket sales goes to various charitable causes and community programs across Canada.
