OLG Pick 2, Pick 3 and Pick 4

Game Overview and How to Play

The OLG Pick games are straightforward numbers games where players select a sequence of digits. For Pick 2, players choose two numbers from 0 to 9. For Pick 3, players select three numbers from 0 to 9, and for Pick 4, players select four numbers from 0 to 9. Players can either choose their own numbers (often meaningful dates or sequences) or opt for a Quick Pick, where the terminal randomly generates the numbers. Tickets can be purchased for a single draw or for multiple consecutive draws through advance play, with options for up to 10, 25, or other predetermined consecutive draws depending on the game. Tickets sold before 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time are valid for that day's Midday draw, while tickets sold later are for the Evening draw. Each game board on a ticket can also be paired with the EXTRA add-on game for an additional $1 per board, which provides a separate chance to win prizes up to $250,000.

The core play types differ between the games, offering varying ways to match the drawn numbers. For Pick 2, the primary play is a Straight Play, where the two digits must match the winning numbers in the exact order drawn. Pick 3 and Pick 4 offer more complex play types. Straight Play requires the digits to match the drawn numbers in the exact order. Box Play allows the digits to match the drawn numbers in any order, which increases the chances of winning but typically for a smaller prize. Pick 3 uniquely offers a Straight/Box Play, which is a single wager that covers both a Straight and a Box play on the same number combination, paying out based on how the numbers match.

Draws, Results and Winning Numbers

Draws for Pick 2, Pick 3 and Pick 4 are held twice every day, seven days a week. The Midday draw and the Evening draw each produce a separate set of winning numbers. The winning numbers for each draw are a random selection of digits: two for Pick 2, three for Pick 3, and four for Pick 4. The official results, including the winning numbers and the accompanying EXTRA number, are published on the OLG website and mobile app shortly after each draw. Historical results are also archived online, allowing players to check past winning numbers from the last six months or more. For example, recent winning numbers from early November 2026 included sequences like 7-5 for a Pick 2 Evening draw and 0-3-4-3 for a Pick 4 Midday draw.

Players can check their tickets against the official winning numbers online, at retail locations using ticket checkers, or by calling the OLG results line at 1-866-531-2600. The prize breakdown for each draw, which details the number of winners and the specific retail locations where winning tickets were sold, can be accessed by clicking a 'View Prize Breakdown' link next to the draw listing on the OLG website. It is important for players to verify results through official channels, as OLG disclaims any warranty of accuracy or completeness for information on third-party sites. Winning numbers are typically presented in a simple list format, often alongside the result for the Encore add-on draw.

Odds, Payouts and Prize Structures

The odds of winning and the corresponding prize amounts vary significantly between the three Pick games and the different play types. The fundamental odds are determined by the number of possible combinations for each game and play style. The top prize for a $2 Pick 2 Straight play is $99. For Pick 3, the odds depend on the play type and the composition of the chosen numbers. For a Box Play with three unique digits, the odds improve to 1 in 167, while a Box Play with a pair of identical digits has odds of 1 in 333.

Pick 3 prizes are not fixed but are pari-mutuel, meaning the prize pool is shared among all winners in a given prize category. The payout depends on the wager amount ( $1, $2, $5, or $10) and the number of winning tickets. For Pick 4, the top prize for a $1 Straight Play is $5,000, with odds of winning at 1 in 10,000. OLG imposes important limits on prize liability. The total amount payable for all prizes in a single Pick 4 draw is capped at $2 million. OLG will suspend wagering on any specific four-digit number for a draw if the total potential prize liability for that number exceeds $1 million.

The EXTRA Add-On Game

EXTRA is an optional add-on game that can be played in conjunction with Pick 2, Pick 3, or Pick 4. For an additional $1 per game board, players receive a randomly generated EXTRA number that is valid for the same draw dates as the host Pick game. The EXTRA draw produces a separate winning number, and prizes are awarded for matching that number in various ways, independent of the results of the main Pick game. The EXTRA number is typically a seven-digit sequence, and prizes are awarded for matching the last digit, last two digits, last three digits, and so on up to matching all seven digits in exact order.

The top prize for matching all seven digits of the EXTRA number in exact order is $250,000. The second prize, for matching the last six digits, is $100,000. This makes EXTRA a popular addition due to its potentially life-changing prizes for a relatively small additional cost. The EXTRA number is printed on the lottery ticket alongside the player's selected Pick numbers. The EXTRA number is tied to the specific draw. If a player purchases a ticket for multiple draws, a new EXTRA number is generated for each draw in the advance play sequence. The odds for the EXTRA prizes are separate from the odds of the main Pick games.

Rules, Regulations and Consumer Information

The Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation establishes and enforces the official rules for Pick 2, Pick 3, and Pick 4. These rules are detailed in the official Game Conditions and the OLG Rules Respecting Lottery Games, which are subject to change by OLG at its discretion. All prizes are subject to a total prize payout limit per draw, most notably the $2 million cap for Pick 4. OLG also reserves the right to suspend wagering on specific number combinations if potential liabilities exceed predetermined thresholds, such as the $1 million limit for a single Pick 4 number.

Unclaimed prizes from these Ontario-only lottery games are directed to the provincial government as profit, which benefits public services in Ontario. Players are responsible for checking their tickets and claiming prizes within the one-year deadline from the draw date. OLG provides several official channels for verifying results and understanding game rules. The corporation emphasizes that while efforts are made to ensure accuracy on its official platforms, the definitive source for winning numbers is an official ticket checked at a retailer or through OLG's official channels. Players are encouraged to view the full game conditions on OLG.ca for the most current and complete information.

• Official rules are found in the PICK-3 Game Conditions and PICK-4 Game Conditions.
• OLG limits total Pick 4 prize payouts to $2 million per draw.
• Wagering on a Pick 4 number is suspended if its potential liability exceeds $1 million.
• Unclaimed prizes become provincial government revenue.
• Official results can be verified by calling 1-866-531-2600.

Comparison to Other Provincial Pick Games

While OLG operates Pick 2, Pick 3, and Pick 4 in Ontario, similar daily numbers games are offered in other Canadian provinces through their respective lottery corporations. For example, the Western Canada Lottery Corporation (WCLC) offers Pick 2, Pick 3, Pick 4, and EXTRA in the Prairie Provinces (Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta) and the territories. The core gameplay mechanics, such as selecting digits and choosing between Straight and Box play, are largely consistent across jurisdictions. The WCLC games also feature the EXTRA add-on with its $250,000 top prize. However, there can be differences in pricing, draw times, and specific prize structures.

A key distinction noted in the available information is that the WCLC markets its Pick games as being available only in the Prairie Provinces and the Territories. The OLG and WCLC games operate independently, with separate draws and prize pools. Results from one region are not valid for tickets purchased in another. Players should always ensure they are checking the correct results for the lottery corporation from which they purchased their ticket. The widespread availability of these similar games across Canada shows the enduring popularity of simple, daily numbers lotteries among Canadian players.

How to Purchase Tickets and Claim Prizes

Tickets for OLG Pick 2, Pick 3, and Pick 4 can be purchased through two primary methods: at authorized OLG retailers across Ontario or online via the OLG.ca website or mobile app for players within the province. At a retailer, players can fill out a selection slip or ask the retailer for a Quick Pick. The selection slip requires marking the desired game (Pick 2, Pick 3, Pick 4), selecting the digits for each board, choosing the play type and wager amount (for Pick 3), and indicating whether to add EXTRA. Online play follows a similar digital process. Players can choose to play for a single draw or select multiple consecutive draws through the advance play option.

Winning tickets must be validated to claim a prize. Larger prizes must be claimed by mailing the ticket to OLG or visiting an OLG prize centre in person. It is crucial to sign the back of a winning ticket immediately for security. The official winning numbers are final, and OLG is not responsible for lost, stolen, or damaged tickets. For verification, players can use the ticket checker at retailers, the OLG website, the OLG app, or the results phone line.

1. Mark the PICK game(s) you want to play on a selection slip.
2. Select the required digits from 0 to 9 for each game board.
3. For PICK 3, choose your wager amount ($1, $2, $5, $10) and play type (Straight, Box, Straight/Box).
4. For PICK 4, choose your play type (Straight or Box).
5. Mark whether to add the EXTRA option for $1 per game board.
6. Choose to play for 1, 2, 5, 10, or 25 consecutive draws.
7. Present the completed slip or request a Quick Pick at an OLG retailer.

Questions about OLG Pick 2, Pick 3 and Pick 4

How do you play OLG Pick 3?

To play OLG Pick 3, you select three numbers from 0 to 9, either by choosing them yourself or using a Quick Pick. You then choose a wager amount of $1, $2, $5, or $10 per play and select a play type: Straight (match in exact order), Box (match in any order), or Straight/Box (a combination of both). You can play for one draw or multiple consecutive draws. Tickets can be bought at retailers or online at OLG.ca. The game has two draws per day, and you can add the EXTRA option for an extra $1 for a chance to win prizes up to $250,000.

What is the top prize for Pick 4?

The top prize for an OLG Pick 4 Straight Play is $5,000 for a $1 wager. This prize is won by matching all four digits in the exact order they are drawn. Pick 4 also offers Box Play, where prizes are pari-mutuel and vary based on the type of box formed by your selected digits. OLG imposes a total prize payout limit of $2 million per Pick 4 draw. If the total prizes from all winning tickets exceed this amount, prizes are reduced proportionally. Wagering on a specific number may be suspended if its potential liability exceeds $1 million.

How often are the Pick 2, 3, and 4 draws?

Draws for OLG Pick 2, Pick 3, and Pick 4 are held twice every day, seven days a week. The two draws are the Midday draw and the Evening draw. Tickets purchased before 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time are valid for the Midday draw on that day. Tickets purchased after that time are for the Evening draw. You can check the specific draw times on the OLG website. Each draw produces a separate set of winning numbers for each game, and the EXTRA add-on number is also drawn separately for each draw time.

What is the difference between Straight and Box play?

Straight Play requires your numbers to match the winning numbers drawn in the exact order. Box Play allows your numbers to match the winning numbers drawn in any order. For PICK 3, you can also choose Straight/Box Play, which is a single wager that lets you win if your numbers match in any order, but you win more if they match in the exact order. For PICK 4, the digits you select determine the kind of Box on your ticket. These play types are available for the daily PICK games offered by OLG in Ontario.
