One year from the draw date. Daily Grand is run by the Interprovincial Lottery Corporation: smaller prizes are paid at retailers, larger ones through its prize-claim process, and the prize is a single tax-free lump sum.

Can I stay anonymous if I win Daily Grand?

Generally no. Above a threshold, every Canadian corporation publishes a winner's name, town, and usually a photo; anonymity is granted only rarely, for a substantiated safety reason.
