About NorthernPrize
NorthernPrize is a licensed Canadian online lottery ticket operator. Through our platform, eligible players can purchase official lottery tickets issued by the government lottery corporation without visiting a retail outlet.
Every order placed on NorthernPrize.com is processed securely through official channels. Your selected numbers are registered in the official lottery system, and your ticket details are stored safely in your NorthernPrize account, with a confirmation email sent to you.
Step-by-Step: How to Buy Your Ticket
The main NorthernPrize game uses a 6-digit draw mechanism. Tickets bought on our website participate in the same certified draws as tickets purchased at physical points of sale.

6. Draw & Results
During the official draw, six separate barrels are used, each containing balls numbered from 0 to 9. One number is drawn from each barrel to form a unique 6-digit combination (for example, 4-8-1-0-9-3). Because the digits are drawn independently, numbers can repeat.
Once the draw is completed and validated by independent auditors, the official results are published. You can review them on the Results page and in your NorthernPrize account.
Prize Allocation & Payouts
All prize structures, winning conditions, and payout rules are defined by the official lottery authority. NorthernPrize does not change the odds or prize amounts. If your ticket is a winner, prizes are paid out according to the applicable game rules and NorthernPrize payout procedures.
Responsible Play Guidelines
Lottery tickets are a form of entertainment and should never be viewed as a way to make money. We encourage all players to follow these responsible play principles:
- Decide in advance how much you can afford to spend and stay within that limit.
- Never use funds intended for essential expenses (such as housing, food, or bills) to buy lottery tickets.
- Remember that winning is never guaranteed and the odds are determined by the official game rules.
- Take regular breaks and seek support if you feel your play is no longer under control.
