Quebec - La Mini

La Mini

La Mini is a provincial lottery game played in Quebec.

Draws take place on Fridays at 22:30 local time, with ticket sales closing shortly before the draw and resuming immediately afterwards.

Entry costs just CAD 0.50.

Printed with a random six-digit number, La Mini tickets are available as Quick Picks only, with the first digit always being between 1 and 9 and the remaining five digits ranging from 0 to 9. Players win the jackpot by matching all six digits in the order they are drawn.

Players can purchase up to 10 La Mini entries per ticket; however, there are no Advance Play options, secondary games or opportunities to win prizes on top of the main draw.

Jackpot

La Mini has a fixed jackpot of CAD 50,000, with no rollovers or roll downs.

Odds and Prizes

The odds of winning the La Mini jackpot are 1 in 900,000, and while the jackpot is relatively modest, the affordable entry price makes the game great value.
