The Interprovincial Lottery Corporation (ILC) is a Canadian organization that operates national lottery games. It was established in 1976.[1] As of 2019, it is owned jointly by the ten provincial governments of Canada.[1] Since 1982, it has administered the Lotto 6/49.[2] It also administers Lotto Max and Daily Grand.[3]
ILC's headquarters are located in Toronto, Ontario. The ILC previously ran the Lotto Super 7 and Millionaire Life.
Each provincial organization is responsible for marketing the national games within its own jurisdiction, and revenues are returned to each province in proportion to generated sales.
