Pick 2 Winning Numbers

Pick 2 is operated by The Ontario Lottery and Gaming Commission and takes place twice a day with the first draw starting at 2 PM local time and the second at 10:30 PM. 

Tickets may be purchased throughout the day and will automatically be entered into the first draw if purchased before 2 PM. Those that are interested in buying a ticket for the evening game prior to 2pm may only do so by purchasing an Advance Play ticket for a minimum of two draws. The game costs CAD$ 2 per play and to win the top prize of $99 you must match your numbers in sequence to those drawn. If you match only the first digit you will win $2.

How to Play Pick 2

Select two digits from 0 to 9, or take a Quick Pick if you prefer. Each number may also be chosen twice because the numbers are selected independently.

In addition, for only $1 you can opt to play Encore , an add-on game with the opportunity of winning a CAD$ 1 Million jackpot and to do so you should match a random 7 digit number in the correct order. For every Pick2 play you also have the opportunity to play  Encore, which is an add-on game with 22 varying combinations to win a prize , the top being a cool $1 Million. You may buy up to 10 draws in advance using the ‘Advance Play’ option.

Odds of Winning

The odds of winning the Ontario Pick 2 lottery are 1 in 100 by matching both 2 numbers. The odds of matching the first number only are 1 in 11.

Play Pick 2 Responsibly

When it comes to playing the lottery, you can do a few things to ensure that you're doing so responsibly. First and foremost, only play with money you can afford to lose. The lottery is a game of chance, and no amount of planning or strategizing can guarantee a win.

Second, be sure to set a budget for when you play. Decide how much you can afford to spend on tickets each week or month, and stick to that amount. It's also important to remember that the lottery is meant to be fun. So, if you are stressed out or worried about winning, it's probably time to take a break.

Lastly, don't let the money change you if you win the lottery. Be sure to use your winnings wisely, and remember that playing responsibly is always best.
