Overview

Jeu de mots (“word play”) is aimed at fans of letter grids. It works like the other letter tickets: the letters you reveal complete words, and the number of words formed sets the prize.

The detailed rules and prize structure are published with each issue; they are worth reading before you buy.

Rules and how it works

  • Scratch the letter area.
  • Check which words in the grid are fully formed.
  • Compare the number of complete words with the ticket’s prize table.
  • A winning ticket is confirmed using its control number.

Minimum age

In Québec, buying lottery tickets and taking part in games of chance is restricted to people 18 and over.
