Check Your Own Tickets

How to Check Your Ticket

Tickets issued by a terminal*

All tickets issued by a terminal can be checked using the ticket checker. Simply insert your ticket into the optical scanner with the ticket's verification code facing upward so that it can be read.

If you have a winning ticket, the prize amount will be displayed on the screen. You should then present it to the retailer.

Scratch tickets

To check a scratch ticket, you first have to uncover the verification code by scratching your ticket. Just make sure to scratch the entire game area in order to completely reveal the verification code. Once you've scratched the ticket and located the verification code, simply insert your ticket into the optical scanner with the ticket's verification code facing upward so that it can be read.

If you have a winning ticket, the prize amount will be displayed on the screen. You should then present it to the retailer *.

As is the case for the lottery terminals, Loto-Québec manages the entire network of ticket checkers. As a result, you can trust the information you’re given when you check your tickets.

And remember: always sign your ticket before getting it validated!

* La Mini tickets can also be checked. The procedure is the same as for tickets issued by a terminal.
