In 2012, the biggest ever top prize of $656m led to news reports all over the world and left lotto players dreaming of what they’d spend the winnings on. But can you bet on the outcome of this massive jackpot lottery from Canada?

At Lottomart Games, you do have the opportunity to win those humongous Mega Millions jackpots by betting on the outcome of the draw. The draws take place every Tuesday and Friday evening at 23:00 Eastern Time (ET). Local times will vary depending on which Canadian time zone you live in, so please check the draw pages for accurate details. There is a minimum $20m top prize available for every draw and 9 ways for you to win!

If you’re familiar with playing lotteries it won’t take you long to get your head around how to play Mega Millions at Lottomart Games.

Can Canadians win the Mega Millions?

At Lottomart Games, Canadians can win by betting on the Mega Millions!

How does betting on a lottery differ from buying a ticket?

If you're in Canada, then you don’t have the option to buy a physical lottery ticket in a store, but you can still be a part of these huge jackpot events by betting on the outcome online. The structure of the game stays the same, so when you’re selecting your numbers for the Mega Millions at Lottomart Games from Canada, you’ll notice very little difference at all. And if you manage to successfully predict the 5 main draw numbers and the Mega Ball and hit the main jackpot prize, then Lottomart Games will be paying you out the ming boggling sum of money!

How do I check my Mega Millions results?

If you have purchased a line bet on the Mega Millions, then we will make the results available as quickly as possible after the official draw has taken place. You can find out the draw results at any time by going to the My Buys section of the Lottomart site or app.

Most wins will be credited to your account automatically, very soon after the draw has been settled. This usually means that your win will be in your account within a few hours. For those customers who hit bigger prizes from the top prize tiers, these may be subject to some additional verification checks before being credited to your account and may take a little longer to be settled.

Can I improve my chances of winning the Mega Millions?

At Lottomart Games we offer Canadian customers the exclusive opportunity to use a feature we developed called boost! The reason this was designed was to give you a greater chance of scoring a major jackpot win on any of the great lotteries we offer from around the world. The way boost works is pretty simple:

The Mega Millions jackpot has hit $640m and you’re already dreaming about what even a fraction of that prize could be put towards, but you ask yourself this… do you want one shot at $640m, or would you prefer 32 shots at winning $20m? At Lottomart Games we offer you exactly that flexibility.

The boost feature works by giving you an increased number of line bets, for the same price, in exchange for a proportionate decrease in the value of the main jackpot prize. So you can have 32 lines for a $20m jackpot, or 1 line for a $640m - all for the same price.
