Myth: I’m never going to win a jackpot because I don’t live in a big city or in another province.

Fact: Provinces and cities don’t win lotteries – individual people or groups do. Every selection has the same chance of winning as every other selection sold for the same game, regardless of where you purchase it. Over time, locations of winning tickets do tend to reflect the total proportion sold in an area.
