About Loto-Québec

Loto-Québec is Quebec's public lottery and gaming corporation, created in 1969 and based in Montreal. It runs Lotto draws and scratch tickets sold across the province, and it operates the Casino de Montréal on Île Notre-Dame.

It is part of everyday Quebec life for many adults, from a weekly ticket at the dépanneur to a scratch card tucked into a holiday card. If you play, treat it as entertainment, set a budget and keep it light. Lottery products are for adults 18 and over. The Casino building itself, on the island beside the river, is also a landmark from Montreal's Expo 67 era.
