What Happens When a Canadian Lottery Prize Goes Unclaimed?
National Games (Lotto Max, 6/49)
Unclaimed funds from national games return to the Interprovincial Lottery Corporation (ILC) prize fund. They are directly redistributed to players through bonus draws, guaranteed promotions, and Maxmillions escalations.
Regional Games (Encore, Extra, Tag)
Unclaimed prizes from regional add-on lotteries are returned to the respective provincial government (OLG in Ontario, BCLC in BC, Loto-Québec) to fund public healthcare, community charities, and civic infrastructure.
