Effective Date: January 07, 2026
Welcome to NorthernPrize.com (the "Website"). These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("User," "Player," or "you") and NorthernPrize ("Operator," "we," "us," or "our"), a licensed Canadian online lottery ticket operator providing a secure digital channel to purchase official lottery tickets.
By accessing this Website, registering an account, or purchasing lottery tickets through our platform, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree with any part of these Terms, you must immediately discontinue use of our services and refrain from purchasing tickets via NorthernPrize.com.
1. Eligibility and Age Verification
Access to and use of NorthernPrize services is strictly limited to individuals who meet the following criteria:
- You must be at least 19 years of age.
- You must be physically located within a Canadian province or territory where our online lottery ticket services are authorized at the time of purchase.
- You must not be an employee, contractor, or immediate family member of NorthernPrize or its related entities if such restrictions are required under applicable regulations.
We reserve the right to request proof of age and identity at any time. Failure to provide satisfactory documentation may result in the suspension or closure of your account and, where required by law or regulation, forfeiture or withholding of any winnings.
2. Account Registration
2.1 Account Creation
To buy official lottery tickets via NorthernPrize, you must register a Player Account. You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information during the registration process, including your full legal name, date of birth, address, and contact details, and to update this information as necessary to keep it accurate.
2.2 Security
You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activities that occur under your account. NorthernPrize is not liable for any loss or damage arising from unauthorized access to your account resulting from your failure to safeguard your credentials.
2.3 One Account Policy
You are permitted to open only one Player Account. Duplicate accounts are subject to immediate closure, and any associated balances, bonuses, or potential winnings may be withheld or cancelled in accordance with applicable regulations and these Terms.
3. Geolocation and Location Services
To comply with provincial and territorial regulations governing online lottery ticket sales, we use geolocation technology to verify your physical location when you log in and when you purchase tickets. You consent to the collection and use of your location data for this purpose.
If we are unable to verify your location, or if you are located outside of an authorized jurisdiction, you will not be permitted to purchase tickets via NorthernPrize.com.
4. Purchases and Payments
- Currency: All transactions are processed in Canadian Dollars (CAD).
- Final Sale: All ticket purchases are final. Once a ticket is generated, confirmed in our system, and transmitted to the official lottery operator, it cannot be cancelled or refunded.
- Payment Methods: We accept major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard), debit cards, Interac e-Transfer, and other methods that may be displayed on the Website. You must be the named holder of the payment method used.
By confirming a purchase, you authorize NorthernPrize to charge your selected payment method for the total amount displayed at checkout and to transmit your ticket selections to the official lottery system.
5. Draws and Prize Claims
5.1 Draw Procedures
All lottery draws for tickets purchased through NorthernPrize.com are conducted by the official lottery operator in the relevant jurisdiction, using certified Random Number Generators (RNG) or physical draw machines that are audited by independent third-party testing agencies to ensure fairness and randomness. NorthernPrize does not conduct draws and has no influence over the outcome of any lottery draw.
5.2 Prize Tiers
Prizes are awarded based on the number of matches between your ticket and the winning numbers, in accordance with the official game rules established by the lottery operator. The prize structure (Divisions and odds) is summarized on the "How It Works" page and may be updated from time to time to reflect official changes.
5.3 Claiming Winnings
- Small Prizes (under $1,000): For eligible tickets purchased via NorthernPrize, small prizes are typically credited directly to your Player Account balance once results have been validated.
- Major Prizes ($1,000 and over): May require additional verification. You may be required to provide government-issued photo ID, proof of address, and to complete a Prize Claim Form. In some cases, you may be required to claim directly from the official lottery operator.
- Jackpots: Jackpot wins are subject to a formal validation process by the official lottery operator. Winners may be asked to comply with publicity requirements, where permitted by provincial regulations and subject to separate consent.
Prize claim periods are determined by the applicable lottery rules. If a prize is not claimed within the period specified by the official operator, it may expire in accordance with those rules.
6. Responsible Gambling
NorthernPrize is committed to providing a safe and responsible lottery environment. We offer several tools to help you manage your play when purchasing tickets online:
- Deposit Limits: Set daily, weekly, or monthly caps on how much you can deposit into your Player Account.
- Session Reminders: Notifications to help you keep track of how long you have been logged in.
- Self-Exclusion: The option to voluntarily exclude yourself from using our services for a specified period (e.g., 6 months, 1 year, or permanently), during which you will not be able to log in or purchase tickets.
If you feel that lottery play is negatively affecting your life, we strongly encourage you to use our responsible play tools and to contact local support services or provincial responsible gambling organizations.
