Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG) is launching an unprecedented CA$25 Instant Gold Pursuit ticket, blending the excitement of scratch tickets with a fresh twist on traditional lottery draws, where winning numbers are pre-drawn, inviting players to hunt for matching combinations.

As a Crown agency, OLG oversees land-based gaming facilities, province-wide lottery games, Internet gaming, and electronic gaming products at charitable gaming centers. Since its establishment in 1975, OLG has contributed approximately CA$59 billion to the province, supporting healthcare, youth sports, and initiatives combating problem gambling.

Embarking on the Gold Hunt

OLG reveals that there are 50 winning draw tickets scattered throughout Ontario, each carrying a CA$100,000 prize. After purchasing a ticket, players can verify potential winnings using the retailer’s ticket checker or the OLG app. Additionally, Instant prizes ranging from CA$25 to CA$2,500 are up for grabs.

Nancy Kennedy, OLG’s Chief Lottery and Customer Officer, expresses the agency's commitment to reinventing the lottery experience and providing players with exhilarating winning opportunities. She highlights that 100% of profits from the new ticket will benefit local communities across the province.

Every play with OLG plays a vital role in supporting government priorities such as healthcare, problem gambling prevention, and assistance for amateur athletes. As one of the largest non-tax revenue generators, OLG contributed CA$2.5 billion to the province last year, with nearly half originating from lottery sales.

Community Giving Initiative

In another significant development, OLG announces a collaboration with the Toronto Raptors to support four local basketball organizations through the Home Court Advantage campaign. Participants playing the free Home Court Advantage game on the Toronto Raptors App can contribute to one of the four designated basketball groups.

This partnership builds upon previous successful endeavors between OLG and the NBA team. In April 2023, they launched the "Borough Ballers" campaign, celebrating Toronto's six boroughs. The initiative raised CA$91,132.00, benefiting various community basketball organizations.
