Retailers

FAQ

1. How many retailers are there throughout Québec?

   Nearly 8,700 retailers.

2. How are the tickets at retailers distributed?

   Printing and random distribution of the tickets is the responsibility of the printer, who pays meticulous attention to operating security. Tickets are printed in rolls, then cut and assembled into booklets. Once the printer has verified that the prize structure is strictly adhered to, the booklets are put into boxes and delivered to Loto-Québec's regional distribution centres. It is at these highly secure centres that wholesalers pick up the tickets they will deliver to Loto-Québec retailers.

   At no point it is possible to know which boxes contain the tickets hiding the grand prize, or any other prize. Moreover, Loto-Québec constantly maintains the highest possible security for the distribution and sale of lottery tickets.
