In the lottery sector, revenues declined compared to the same period last year. The decrease is due to Lotto Max, which offered fewer jackpots of $50 million or more and Maxmillions prizes than in 2018–2019, which was an exceptional year as for the number of major jackpots offered.
Loto-Québec paid out several major prizes during the last quarter, including jackpots of $50 million and $32 million.
Casino and gaming hall revenues continued their upward trend.

The online gaming site once again recorded higher revenues for both lottery and casino games.

Revenues from the bar network were lower, mainly because of terminal withdrawals in areas targeted by the video lottery terminal network action plan.

Revenues from bingo and Kinzo halls continued to grow.

The World Lottery Association has renewed Loto-Québec’s Level 4 Certification—the highest level of accreditation for responsible gambling in the world.
December 23, 2019, marked 50 years since the inception of Loto-Québec. The Corporation will be highlighting its history and launching several initiatives geared at its customers throughout the year.

The quarterly report is available on Loto-Québec’s website.
