About Canada Lotto Picks

A dedicated initiative to support community resilience through transparent, regulated fundraising across Ontario.

Our Mission

Canada Lotto Picks: The 2025 Edition was established to create a sustainable, transparent fundraising mechanism that directly benefits vulnerable communities across Ontario. We believe that every individual deserves access to essential services, and we're committed to making that vision a reality.

Our mission extends beyond fundraising. We aim to build a movement of compassion, where community members come together to support one another while having the opportunity to win meaningful prizes. Every ticket purchased represents a vote of confidence in our shared future.

Our Core Values

Compassion

We approach every aspect of our work with genuine care for the communities we serve. Our commitment to supporting vulnerable populations drives every decision we make, ensuring that compassion remains at the heart of our operations.

Transparency

Complete transparency in all operations is non-negotiable. We publish detailed financial reports, maintain open communication with supporters, and ensure that every dollar's journey from purchase to distribution is fully documented and verifiable.

Accountability

We hold ourselves to the highest standards of accountability, operating under strict regulatory oversight and maintaining rigorous internal controls. Every decision is made with careful consideration of our responsibilities to supporters and beneficiaries.

Community Impact

Our focus is on creating measurable, lasting impact in the communities we serve. We work exclusively with registered charitable organizations that demonstrate proven effectiveness and maintain the highest standards of service delivery.

How We Operate

Regulatory Compliance

We operate under license RAF1510172 issued by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO). This license ensures that all aspects of our operations—from ticket sales to prize distribution—comply with provincial gaming regulations. Regular audits and compliance checks are conducted to maintain our license status.

Fund Allocation

50% of all ticket sales revenue is allocated to the Grand Prize Fund, which is awarded to one winner in the December 31, 2025 draw. The remaining 50% is distributed to registered charitable organizations that provide essential services including food security, emergency shelter, mental health support, and educational resources.

Partner Organizations

We work exclusively with registered charities that have demonstrated proven effectiveness in serving vulnerable populations. All partner organizations undergo rigorous vetting to ensure they meet our standards for transparency, accountability, and impact. We maintain ongoing relationships with these organizations to track the outcomes of funded programs.

Transparency Measures

We publish comprehensive reports detailing ticket sales, fund allocation, and distribution outcomes. All financial information is independently audited and made available to supporters upon request. We believe that transparency builds trust and strengthens our community impact.

Our Impact

Since our inception, Canada Lotto Picks has facilitated the distribution of hundreds of thousands of dollars to charitable organizations across Ontario. These funds have directly supported:

  • Food security programs serving thousands of families
  • Emergency shelter services for individuals experiencing homelessness
  • Mental health support programs for vulnerable populations
  • Educational resources for underserved communities
  • Community development initiatives that build long-term resilience

Every ticket purchase contributes to this impact, creating a ripple effect of positive change throughout Ontario communities.
