Prizes & Odds

To win a prize, numbers matched must appear in the same selection (line).

The Main Prize Fund is 40% of sales. 

Gold Ball Draw

A winning selection as a result of any Gold Ball Draw is determined where all the digits of such selection correspond in the same order to those of the Gold Ball Draw Number drawn.

The odds of winning a prize in any Gold Ball Draw are one out of the total number of Gold Ball Draw Numbers issued for that draw. The odds for the holder(s) of the ticket bearing the winning Gold Ball Draw Number of winning the Gold Ball Jackpot depends on the number of prize balls available for that Gold Ball Jackpot Draw. For example, if there are 30 prize balls available for the draw, the odds of winning the Gold Ball Jackpot are 1 in 30. If there are 2 prize balls available for the draw, the odds of winning the Gold Ball Jackpot are 1 in 2.

After each draw, for the payment of prizes, $1.44 is allocated for every play recorded on the computer system of any of its Regional Marketing Organizations for that draw to prize funds as follows:

• $0.89 is allocated to the “Draw Fund” to fund the payment of (i) the “Gold Ball Jackpot Draw Prize” as defined below; the $5,000,000 Classic Draw 6/6 category Prize (the “Classic Jackpot”); and any additional special draw prizes which ILC may at its discretion offer from time to time.
• $0.55 is allocated to the “Prize Fund” and a “Pools Fund” is determined by deducting from the Prize Fund an amount equal to the total amount payable as prizes on the 3/6, 2/6+ and 2/6 winning selections. The amount deemed payable as a prize on each 2/6 winning selection (free play) is $1.44.

The holder(s) of the winning ticket for the Gold Ball Draw is entitled to claim a prize (the “Gold Ball Jackpot Draw Prize”) of either a) $1,000,000 or b) the Gold Ball Jackpot, depending on the prize ball drawn as a result of the Gold Ball Jackpot Draw.
