Over 65 percent of LOTTO 6/49 tickets are purchased in Ontario and Quebec. This is consistent with the population of these two provinces, as compared to the remainder of Canada. The number of Jackpot winners corresponds to the number of tickets sold in each region. And as a result, you will generally notice more winners from eastern Canada. The Prairies and Territories account for 14 to 15 percent of the sales on LOTTO 6/49 and LOTTO MAX.
