If I purchase/order tickets will they be in the draw barrel for the next draw?
Yes. All draw cut-offs are several days prior to the draw. This allows us time to collect and process and ensure all tickets are in the draw barrel before the actual draw. Your ticket stubs get mailed to you within 2 weeks, but as long as you order or purchase prior to midnight day of the cut off, you will be in the draw barrel.
Is the ticket tax deductible/do you get a tax receipt?
No, there is no tax receipt issued as Revenue Canada deems that the purchase of a ticket is not a donation. All lottery winnings are tax free.
