OLG CONNECTS LOTTERY TO POWERBUCKS PROGRESSIVE JACKPOT IN CANADIAN FIRST
TORONTO, ON – The Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG) is leading the way as the first lottery jurisdiction in Canada to integrate a wide-area progressive jackpot into a lottery game. OLG’s newest $3 Watch 'N Win POWERBUCKS™ WHEEL OF FORTUNE lottery game offers players two chances to win and features the POWERBUCKS Progressive Jackpot of $1 million or more as the top in-store Instant win prize. In addition to a chance to win instantly, players could also win up to $100,000 in the nightly draw.
“OLG is always looking for opportunities to bring new and dynamic experiences to our players and POWERBUCKS WHEEL OF FORTUNE is one of the ways we are doing just that,” said Pinder Basi, Acting Chief Lottery and Customer Care Officer at OLG. “This new game not only offers an exciting way to engage with our players, but also further strengthens our commitment to giving back to the people and communities of Ontario.”
Every play with OLG is a winning one because all profits are reinvested into communities across the province. In fiscal 2023-24, OLG delivered $2.4 billion back to Ontario, with the sale of lottery tickets making up almost half of that amount.
The POWERBUCKS Progressive Jackpot is available across Canada, linking the jackpot prize pool between slot machines, iCasino games, and now lottery in Ontario. The POWERBUCKS Progressive Jackpot starts at $1 million and increases through contributions from purchases from participating games.
Players can get the new $3 POWERBUCKS WHEEL OF FORTUNE game at any of OLG’s 10,000 retail locations across Ontario. Visit POWERBUCKS WHEEL OF FORTUNE® RUBY RICHES | OLG WATCH ‘N WIN for more information about how to play, prizing details and odds of winning.
