OLG has revolutionized lottery play with the introduction of Group Play on OLG.ca and the OLG app.

Players can easily form online groups, purchase tickets together, and track prizes electronically.

With Group Play, collecting funds and distributing winnings is automated, allowing players to focus on the excitement.

Simply sign up on OLG.ca, create a group, and invite members to join. Captains can then build Group Packs of tickets, and members can choose to participate.

Lottery options include popular games like LOTTO MAX, LOTTO 649, and more, with the option to add ENCORE.

For prizes under $1,000 per play, the system automatically splits winnings equally among participating members.

Larger prizes follow the standard claim process. All members must register for an OLG account online, and players can join multiple groups simultaneously.

Andrew Darley, OLG's Vice President of iCasino & iLottery, emphasizes that Group Play brings a cherished Ontario tradition online, making it more transparent to manage.

OLG's commitment to adapting to Ontarians' preferences is evident, ensuring a shared lottery experience.

With every play, OLG contributes to communities across Ontario, reinvesting profits for the province's benefit.

Responsible gambling is paramount, and OLG promotes smart play habits through its PlaySmart program, ensuring players can enjoy games responsibly.
