Known Canadian-style draws & neutral recommendations

The games below reflect known Canadian draw formats used in many lottery-style number draws but are not tied to any real product in Canada.

Maple Pick 5

A simple 5-number selection within a defined range.

Overview

In Maple Pick 5, a player chooses 5 distinct numbers from 1 to 40. A separate draw randomly selects 5 winning numbers from the same range.

Basic rules

  • Select 5 different numbers between 1 and 40.
  • Numbers cannot repeat within a single selection.
  • A random draw selects 5 winning numbers from the same pool.
  • Matches between your selection and the drawn numbers determine the outcome.

Neutral recommendations

  • Treat all numbers as equally likely. There is no “strong” or “weak” number.
  • Use a simple approach: random selection, quick-pick tools, or evenly spaced numbers.
  • Set a clear budget and do not exceed it, regardless of past results.
  • Avoid chasing previous outcomes; each draw is independent.

Prairie Pairs

Number pairs and pattern awareness, without promises of success.

Overview

Prairie Pairs uses pairs of numbers. A player chooses 3 pairs (6 numbers total) from 1 to 30. The draw generates 6 winning numbers from the same range.

Basic rules

  • Choose 3 different pairs, for example (4, 5), (11, 12), (23, 24).
  • Each number must be between 1 and 30; repeats are allowed only across different pairs.
  • The draw produces 6 random numbers from 1 to 30.
  • You review how many of your chosen numbers appear in the drawn set and which pairs contain matches.

Neutral recommendations

  • View number pairs as a way to organize your selections, not to predict outcomes.
  • Experiment with both consecutive and non-consecutive pairs for variety.
  • Do not increase your spending after wins or losses; keep a stable limit.
  • Pause or stop if you feel pressure to recover previous expenses.

Atlantic Match 7

Seven-number grids for people who enjoy larger selections.

Overview

Atlantic Match 7 involves picking 7 numbers from 1 to 45. The draw produces 7 winning numbers. This type of structure is common in many draw-style games.

Basic rules

  • Select 7 distinct numbers between 1 and 45.
  • Each draw randomly selects 7 numbers from the same range.
  • You compare your selection to the drawn numbers to see how many match.
  • Some games may include bonus or extra numbers; always check official rules.

Neutral recommendations

  • Consider mixing higher and lower numbers without expecting any combination to be superior.
  • Use pre-defined grids or random generators if choosing feels stressful.
  • Only participate when it fits comfortably within your entertainment budget.
  • Take regular breaks and avoid viewing draws as a financial plan.
Reminder: These games reflect widely known formats. Real-world lottery products are subject to provincial regulations, official rules, age limits, and licensing requirements.
