Lotto 6/49 to offer more millions
There will soon be more chances to be a millionaire.
Lotto 6/49 will offer a new guaranteed $1 million prize for each of its weekly draws starting in September, officials said Wednesday. But the new cash doesn't come without a catch, tickets will now cost $3 per play -- a dollar more.
"With the new $1 million prize that's guaranteed to be won with every draw, Lotto 6/49 will be creating more millionaires every week," said Greg McKenzie, president of the Interprovincial Lottery Corporation.
The million dollar prize will be awarded with a new unique number.
Free plays will also be given for matching just two out of six numbers and jackpots will start at $5 million.
Officials say the improvements will bump up the odds of winning nearly five times -- from one in 32 to one in six.
The first draw for the new Lotto 6/49 will be Sept. 15.
