Results before promotion
The registry of published draws is the centre of the site. Games are described by their format and their schedule, not by what someone might win.

A state lottery site, and what that changes
Lottery and online gaming in Québec are run by a state-owned corporation under a specific Act, not by a private operator competing for attention. That shapes what this site does and, just as much, what it does not do.
01 // The operator
Who is behind this site
Everything published here — draws, results, account rules — comes back to a single legal entity and a single statute.
The legal entity
The operator is a corporation established by Québec law, with a registered address in Montréal and a Québec business number. That identity appears in full in the footer of every page, not only on this one.
- Société des loteries du Québec
- 500 Rue Sherbrooke Ouest, Montréal, QC H3A 3G6
- NEQ 1144330454
The governing statute
Activities are carried out under the Act respecting the Société des loteries du Québec and the by-laws made under it. Those by-laws are what actually govern how a draw is run, how a prize category works and when a participation is void.
- Act respecting the Société des loteries du Québec (CQLR, c. S-13.1)
- By-laws made under the Act, listed on the regulations page
- Regulations
02 // Editorial choices
Three decisions about how this site is built
A visitor will notice all three within a minute of arriving. Better to say them outright.
02
Controls in the open
Limits, breaks and self-exclusion sit in the main navigation and in the same grid as the games, instead of being filed away in an account submenu.
03
Gaps are stated, not filled
Where a figure, a contact channel or a schedule has not been confirmed, it is left out and the gap is stated rather than filled with something plausible. Two things on this site do not come from independent verification, and both say so where they appear: the certification marks in the footer rest on the operator’s own confirmation, and the demonstration catalogue is openly invented.
Québec
Everything here is bound to one province
The rules, the operator and the account requirements are Québec ones. That is not a marketing angle — it decides who may open an account, which by-laws govern a draw, and which language rules apply to this page.
Regulations03 // Language
Both languages, in full
Every page exists in French and in English, including the legal ones. The switch in the header keeps you on the page you were reading.
French-language notice
The Charter of the French language and its regulations govern the consultation of English-language content on this site. The English pages are a translation of record, not a shortened version: the two carry the same information.
Responsible gambling
Limits, breaks and self-exclusion live in one section instead of being scattered through the site. Finding them should not depend on already knowing what they are called.
