SAULT STE. MARIE, ON – Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG) is pleased to make second quarter (July 1 – September 30) payments totaling $37,765,676 to 29 communities that host land-based casinos.

So far, during OLG’s fiscal year (April 1, 2025 to March 31, 2026), these 29 communities have received $81,399,887.

These payments to host communities are based on a formula in the Municipality Contribution Agreement that is consistently applied across all land-based casino sites in Ontario using a graduated scale of gaming revenue at the hosted site. 

“Municipalities are able to offer local programs and improve the quality of life of their residents through the economic activity generated though revenue from OLG gaming sites,” said Stan Cho, Minister of Tourism, Culture and Gaming. “The people of Ontario benefit from OLG’s gaming revenues as 100 per cent of OLG profits are reinvested in the province to support provincial priorities.”

Since 1994, host communities have received almost $2.3 billion in non-tax gaming revenue.

OLG is proud to share proceeds of casino gaming with local communities, contributing to economic development including infrastructure and job creation. Payments to host communities are part of OLG’s commitment to Ontario, which includes reinvesting 100 per cent of OLG’s profits back into the province.

Over the past nine years, service providers have invested more than $2.9 billion in private sector capital investment across the province. These investments have led to the development and opening of seven new casinos; two large-scale resort developments and expansions; many gaming floor expansions and new non-gaming amenities.

TORONTO, ON – As we settle into Fall, and prepare for Winter, let’s fast forward and dream ahead to Spring when one of Canada’s most popular lottery games, LOTTO MAX, will undergo an exciting transformation.

New $90 million Jackpot:

The top LOTTO MAX jackpot will increase from $80 million to $90 million – a new record-breaking jackpot level for a Canadian lottery!

New $100,000 prizes:

In addition to the growing MAXMILLIONS prizes, LOTTO MAX is also introducing an exciting new feature offering multiple $100,000 prizes with every draw, based on the jackpot amount. For example, when the jackpot is $10 million, 10 additional $100,000 prizes will be drawn, and so on, up to 90 additional $100,000 prizes when the jackpot hits $90 million. That’s on top of the growing MAXMILLIONS prizing that may be available.

Better overall odds of winning any prize:

With these new features, the overall odds of winning any prize will be better than the previous version of LOTTO MAX. Each play will now include four (4) selections of seven (7) numbers.

To support these enhancements, the price of a LOTTO MAX ticket will change from $5 to $6. This small change helps us continue offering record-breaking jackpots, plus the addition of the new $100,000 prizes to the game that Canadian lottery players love. This is the first price increase since the game’s inception in 2009.

We’re committed to keeping LOTTO MAX fresh and fun and these enhancements ensure we can keep delivering the excitement you expect.

So, get ready for a season of dreaming big with even more chances to win great LOTTO MAX prizes!

The first draw for the new LOTTO MAX will be Tuesday, April 14, 2026.

More details on the LOTTO MAX enhancements can be found in the LOTTO MAX Game Conditions.

TORONTO, ON – Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG) is giving back to communities across the province with the help of its players. Through the WINTARIO50 Community Contest, a province-wide initiative honouring OLG’s 50-year history of supporting Ontario, more than $1 million was distributed across all 26 Ontario United Way regions.

Launched as part of OLG’s 50^th anniversary celebrations, the WINTARIO50 Community Contest commemorated five decades of play, community support and lasting impact while paying tribute to the lottery game that started it all – WINTARIO. Players who purchased a WINTARIO50 lottery ticket could then enter the WINTARIO50 Community Contest for a chance to win a personal prize, and also an opportunity to nominate a United Way region for a chance for it to win up to $250,000.

Thanks to the enthusiastic participation from our players, every United Way region in Ontario received a prize, with two regions awarded a grand prize of $250,000.

“Giving back to communities across Ontario is at the heart of what we do,” said Duncan Hannay, OLG’s President and CEO. “And what better way to honour that legacy than by inviting our players to help us do just that through this contest. We’re pleased to partner with United Way to further support communities across the province.”

“United Way Greater Toronto is so very grateful for this partnership with OLG. This gift will continue to support a network which strengthens our social safety net, creating lasting impact in the Peel, Toronto and York Region, whether by providing warm clothing for homeless individuals, healthy snacks for children in after-care programs, or a safe space for women escaping violence,” said Heather McDonald, President & CEO, United Way Greater Toronto.

“We are incredibly grateful to the OLG and our local community for helping United Way Halton and Hamilton win $250,000 through the WINTARIO50 Community Contest! This amazing support will go directly toward strengthening vital social service programs across Halton and Hamilton, making a big impact for our most vulnerable neighbours. Thank you for standing with us united in ACTION to build a stronger, more caring community,” said Brad Park, CEO United Way Halton and Hamilton.

Since 1975, OLG has generated approximately $62 billion for the people and province of Ontario, which has helped support provincial priorities such as health care, the treatment and prevention of problem gambling, support for amateur athletes, and other initiatives.

This year, OLG is celebrating the people and communities that have shaped its winning story over the past five decades. To learn more about OLG’s 50^th anniversary celebrations visit www.olg.ca/Wintario.
