Recent draws
Jackpot tracker
Next draw: $85 million. 16 MaxMillions prizes of $1 million each are offered.
Recorded so far: Oct 6 $75M → Oct 9 $80M → Oct 13 $85M
Jackpot snapshots are recorded each draw since October 2026, so this chart fills in over time. Figures are WCLC's advertised amounts before each draw and can change.
Gold Ball tracker
Gold Ball jackpot: $20 million. Balls left in the drum: 25, so the chance the gold ball comes out next draw is 1 in 25. Every white ball drawn adds $2 million and removes one ball.
The drum always pays someone: a white ball means a guaranteed $1 million winner. See the Gold Ball guide.

The Interprovincial Lottery Corporation, provincial operators and where this site fits.
lottohelper.ca is an independent, unofficial reference run from British Columbia. It keeps a complete archive of published Lotto 6/49 results since the first draw on June 12, 1982 and Lotto Max results since its launch on September 25, 2009, and explains how the games, prizes, claims and odds really work — without selling tickets or pretending to predict the next draw.
A small script runs every night after midnight Pacific time. It reads the official winning numbers published by the Western Canada Lottery Corporation, checks that each draw date falls on the right weekday and that the right count of numbers is present, and only then updates this page, the two results archives and the data behind the tools. If anything fails a check, yesterday's verified data stays in place — figures are never guessed. Older draws were added in October 2026 from Loto-Québec's and WCLC's public results and cross-checked against each other. Jackpot amounts for upcoming draws are the ones WCLC advertises and can change; your provincial lottery has the final word.
Hot, warm and cold labels describe the past only. Every number has exactly the same chance in every draw, which is why the generator above is labelled as entertainment and why our hot and cold guide explains what the charts can and cannot tell you. Play for fun, within a budget — see responsible play.
