It's your ticket! Protect it with your name on it!
Always PRINT your name on the front and back, address and daytime telephone number on the back of your ticket as soon as you receive it.
Check the control numbers
When the retailer validates your ticket:
- Ask to see your validation slip
- Confirm that the control numbers match
- Retailers are required to return the ticket to you if not a winning ticket.

Watch where you leave your ticket
Ticket paper is thermal sensitive.
Do not leave your ticket on:
- your vehicle’s dashboard
- on a window ledge,
- or in any place where it may receive prolonged sunlight.
The print on your ticket may disappear!
Don't let your ticket expire!
All tickets expire. Pay attention to the expiry dates on the back of your tickets to avoid missing out on collecting your winnings.
