Play Alongside Lotto Max

You have to play Extra alongside another lottery in British Columbia, whether it is Lotto Max, BC/49 or Daily Grand, so there are draws every day of the week apart from Sunday. It is not possible to play Extra separately.

BC Extra Prizes

You win the BC Extra jackpot of $500,000 if you match all four of the winning numbers from 1 to 99. A great feature of Extra is that, even if there are other winners, you will still be paid the half-a-million dollars. The jackpot is a fixed amount per winner and is not shared.

All the other prizes are fixed amounts too. You even win a prize just for matching one number. Take a look at the table below to find out all the available payouts and the odds of winning in each category.
