To picture the longest of these odds: it is like guessing one exact second picked at random over 55 days.
Overview
Banco spécial uses exactly the same draw as Banco, but the selection is much wider: 20 numbers out of 70. The prize structure is therefore different, and some prize classes even reward a selection that shares no numbers with the draw.
The Turbo option is also available, with the same randomly drawn multiplier.
Rules and how it works
- A selection has 20 numbers from 1 to 70.
- The 20 numbers drawn are the same as for Banco.
- Your selection wins based on how many numbers it matches, including a class where no numbers match.
- Turbo option: a doubled wager in exchange for a randomly drawn prize multiplier.
Minimum age
In Québec, buying lottery tickets and taking part in games of chance is restricted to people 18 and over.
