Checking your Ticket

There are several ways you can check your lottery tickets.

Use the Ticket Checkers at your Lottery Retailer.

    Step 1: Wait for the message, “CHECK YOUR TICKETS HERE”.

    Step 2: Insert the bar code under the red light - the bar code is located at the bottom of the ticket or  under the latex in the play area for Zing (SCRATCH 'N WIN) tickets.

    Step 3: Move the bar code slowly through the light, until you hear a BEEP. Prize information will then appear on the screen.

    If you experience any difficulty while checking your tickets, or have any concerns about a lottery retailer, please contact Player Care by email or phone. Have ready as much detail about the incident as possible.

    Myth: If the odds are 1 in 4 on a SCRATCH ’N WIN ticket and you buy four tickets, you should be guaranteed a win.

    Fact: These are overall odds (1 in 4). So you could buy four tickets and win on all four, or win on none, or wind up somewhere between the two. There’s no connection between tickets.
