Since July 2009 Atlantic Lottery has had the pleasure of awarding four major prizes of greater than $100000 to more than 40 people who played as part of a group. Their excitement filled our hallways with laughter and joy; and their experience gave them richer moments that will last a lifetime.
Atlantic Lottery awards 90000 prizes big and small every day. 100% of our profits are returned to our communities. In addition to the more than $240 million awarded in prizes last year Atlantic Lottery also returned more than $398 million to the four Atlantic Provinces. A lottery where everyone wins now thats a Richer Moment.
