Banco Winning Numbers

On this page, you can find the history of Banco, a guide on how to play it, and information on the latest results of Banco. We will also provide some tips on how to improve your chances of winning!

What Is Banco in Quebec?

Banco has been around since the late 80's and the reason it's so popular is the odds of winning are good and prizes very attractive.

There are tickets of varying value to choose from between CAD 1 and CAD 10 which will influence the prize you can win and additionally you can decide how many numbers you want to match.

The draws take place every day at 10:30 p.m. Sales of tickets close just before it. The Banco winning numbers are published online soon after the draw.

How to Play Banco?

To get started, you'll need to buy a ticket either from an authorised retailer, the Official website or via mobile app. If you decide to play online you need to register an account first.

The three main factors to consider when playing are the ticket price and how many numbers you want to bet on.

Firstly, tickets vary in value from between CAD 1 and CAD 10 and this cost acts as a multiplier for the prizes on offer. For example, a CAD 10 ticket will win you ten times as much as a CAD 1 one.

Secondly, you have the choice of picking between 2 and 10 numbers (ranging from 1 to 70) with the aim of matching them to those that are drawn in the lottery. But if you prefer, you can use the Quick Pick option to make life easier.

Lastly, there is a Turbo option which, if you select it, doubles your wager and multiplies your winnings. There is an additional draw alongside the main draw to decide the Turbo factor for that day which can multiply your jackpot by 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 10 times.

If that wasn't enough, you have Extra to consider. This is an add-on game which involves an additional draw with the chance to win a cool Million Dollars ! To do that, the 7 digits that you're allocated must match the 7 drawn in the corresponding draw. If you want to join in for CAD 1 per play, just check the Extra box.

Trying to hit the jackpot by picking random numbers is like trying to find a needle in a haystack. However, if you're determined to choose your own numbers, there are a few things you can do to improve your chances.

• Avoid picking numbers that have recently been drawn. While there's no guarantee that they won't be drawn again, it's unlikely that the same numbers will come up twice in a row.
• Try to spread your numbers out evenly across the entire range of possible numbers. This will give you a better chance of hitting all the numbers if you do happen to win.
• Don't get too attached to any one set of numbers. The lottery is a game of chance, and ultimately there's no magical formula for picking the winning numbers. So go ahead and pick whatever numbers you like—just don't be surprised if they don't come up.
