Pop-up Ads
Very occasionally, someone will complain about the pop-up ads on this site. There are none. It
is the current policy of Lottery Canada not to have any pop-up/pop-under advertising on this site.
If you are seeing pop-up ads (ads for products or services that open a new window in your web browser)
on this site, there are two possible sources: The first is fairly innocuous, although a bit underhanded:
it's possible to create pop-up ads that appear when you LEAVE a page; i.e. they appear to be caused by
the next page you open. If you're seeing them on this site, they're from whereever you were before you
browsed here. Usually these are pretty obvious, because they'll advertise a product from the previous site.
The second case is more significant: recently there have been a spate of "products" that install
"ad services" onto your computer, usually in the guise of something else. The most common of these
is "Gator," but there are a number of others that do the same thing. Usually they'll tell you what
they're doing when you install ... somewhere around the third page of fine print in the EULA. These products
will cause ANY web page to produce ads, and are a headache to both web browser users and the site owners
(such as Lottery Canada) whose reputations are tarnished by irrelevant and obnoxious ads.
If you believe that you have such software installed on your system, don't panic: Do a web search on
"Spyware removal" or "Gator removal" and you'll find products, many of them free, that can assist you in
removing them.
June 2nd, 2003
Ontario Millionaires Month information has been added to the web site. This is a combination scratch and online
draw lottery just for month of July.
For more information please look here.
November 23rd, 2002
We have now added the first installment of lottery wheels to the Combo play section.
Our lottery wheels come with a written guarantee:
"If any Computer Generated Lotto Wheeling System purchased on this site has an error that causes the
purchaser to not win at least the equivalent of the minimum guaranteed prizes (or a better prize) stated for
that wheel, we will refund the total wheel purchase price Plus the lost value of the prizes promised for that
wheel. This of course does not apply if you made the error, changed the wheel, forgot to bet all the tickets
etc (Copies of the all the lotto play slips are required for verification)."
November 5th, 2002
We have added a new section to the web site for combo plays and how to use a technique called 'wheeling' to increase the number of prizes you can
win. This section currently only has information regarding the 6/49 style lotteries but
we will be adding information on Lotto Super 7 as well.
October 3rd, 2002
We have moved all of our mailing lists to a new server. This allows us to move to a web based administration for these lists. Visit

June 30th, 2002
LotteryCanada.com has completed the move of our servers to our new data center. This move resulted in our
servers being non-reachable for approx 6 hours. The move will result in faster access times for our servers.
May 26th, 2002
LotteryCanada.com had some serious problems with the database server that controls the display of lottery results. This
problem caused the delayed posting of Saturday's results. We apologize for any problems this may have caused.
