Scratch prize money claimed in 9 weeks: $27,002,370 on OLG's lists, $30,908,742 on Loto-Québec's, $3,457,046 on BCLC's
Lottizen compared each agency's published scratch prize lists of September 7, 2026 and November 9, 2026, game by game. The figures describe prize money claimed, not the odds of any ticket.

OLG, BCLC and Loto-Québec publish, for every scratch game, how many prizes of each amount were printed and how many are still unclaimed. Lottizen reads those lists every day. For this report it took the lists read on September 7, 2026 and on November 9, 2026, 63 days apart, and for each game added up the fall in unclaimed prize money: prizes times their amount, in the tiers the agency lists. Only games in the agency's current catalog that were on both lists are counted.
Games left out — OLG: 51 that weren't on both lists (launched or left in between) and 1 with an annuity top prize. Loto-Québec: 15 that weren't on both lists (launched or left in between) and 1 with an annuity top prize. BCLC: 36 that weren't on both lists (launched or left in between) and 106 listed only because their prizes can still be claimed. Annuity prizes are left out because the lists give no single cash amount for them, and so are prizes the lists name without an amount (a wheel-spin or live event, a vehicle, gold).
Across the 24 OLG games counted, unclaimed prize money fell from $154,710,565 to $127,708,195. Across 20 Loto-Québec games it fell from $179,209,316 to $148,300,574, and across 50 BCLC games from $25,212,204 to $21,755,158. The table gives each as a share of the prize money printed for those games, and the weekly figure for the median game.
The three lists don't cover the same prizes: OLG lists prizes of $100 and up, BCLC $50 and up, and Loto-Québec every amount down to $2, so the shares in the table aren't directly comparable: from October 9, 2026 to November 9, 2026, 88% of the prize money claimed in the Loto-Québec games counted was in prizes under $100. Counting only cash prizes of $100 or more, from October 9, 2026 (when Lottizen's tier-by-tier records begin) to November 9, 2026, the share of printed prize money claimed was 5.0% for OLG (35 games), 1.1% for Loto-Québec (23 games) and 0.8% for BCLC (33 games).
No agency publishes how many tickets have been sold or are left, so these figures can't say why prize money is claimed faster in one place than another: sales, print runs and the number of games on sale all play a part, and the lists don't separate them. Loto-Québec dates its lists; those read on November 9, 2026 were dated November 3, 2026, so its figures run to that date.
These are past claims, not a forecast. A game whose prize money has been claimed slowly is not about to pay out: each ticket's chance of winning is fixed when the game is printed, and none of these figures changes it.
