Wintario MILLIONS is a nostalgic version of Ontario's first, and best remembered, lottery game. "People today still fondly remember Wintario as the first game they played, or as the game their parents played," said OLGC Senior Vice President - Lottery, Alan Berdowski. "We're bringing the WINTARIO name back as a special, limited time game with bigger prizes than ever."

WINTARIO was Ontario's first province-wide lottery game, launched in May 1975. The original game had a top prize of $200,000 with draws held every second Thursday during a live TV show that traveled to various communities across the province. The game was retired in the fall of 1996 after generating more than $2.4 billion in sales and more than $1.1 billion in prizes.
