These Terms govern your access to and use of the website NorthernDraws.com and all associated services, including the purchase of lottery entries and the claiming of prizes.

If you do not agree to these Terms, you must immediately discontinue use of the Site. We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. Your continued use of the Site following any changes constitutes your acceptance of the new Terms.

  3. Legal Capacity: You must have the legal capacity to enter into a binding contract.

We utilize third-party identity verification services to confirm your age and location. If we are unable to verify your information, your account may be suspended or terminated.

3. Account Registration

To purchase entries, you must create a Northern Draws Player Account. You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information during the registration process. You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials.

4. Purchasing Entries and Payments

4.1 Currency

All transactions are processed in Canadian Dollars (CAD).

4.2 Ticket Sales

All sales of lottery entries are final. Once a ticket has been purchased and the transaction confirmed by our system, it cannot be cancelled, refunded, or modified.

4.3 Cut-off Times

Entries for a specific draw must be purchased before the designated cut-off time (typically 7:30 PM EST on the day of the draw). Purchases made after this time will automatically be entered into the next available draw.

5. Game Rules and Draws

Northern Draws operates under strict regulatory oversight. The following rules apply to all draw games:

  • Random Number Generation (RNG): Winning numbers are generated using certified RNG systems or mechanical ball machines, audited by independent third-party testing agencies.
  • Odds: The odds of winning vary by prize division. Detailed odds are published on the "Play Now" and "View Results" pages.
  • Syndicates: Group play is permitted, but the Operator will only recognize the registered account holder as the claimant of any prize.

6. Prizes and Claims

6.1 Prize Validation

All winning tickets are subject to validation by Northern Draws. A ticket is not a valid winning ticket until it has been verified against our central computer system. In the event of a discrepancy between the numbers on your screen and the numbers in our database, the database record shall prevail.

  1. Prizes under $1,000 CAD: Will be automatically credited to your Player Account balance.
