Double Play Prizes

There are also four prizes to be won in Double Play, a supplementary game which can be entered in-store for an additional $1 per line. The same numbers you pick for Lotto 47 will be entered into Double Play, which takes place immediately after the main game. Double Play numbers also range between 1 and 47, so the same number may appear in both draws.

You must match three or more numbers to win. The jackpot is worth $1.5 million and all other prizes are doubled from the main draw. Jackpot winners can choose to take their prize as annuity payments spanning 30 years, or as a one-off lump sum. The odds of winning are the same in both games, and the Double Play prizes available are shown below:
