How HIT OR MISS works

HIT OR MISS is a draw-based game that takes place approximately every 5 minutes, every day. Each $2 play puts you into the next draw, where you choose 12 of 24 numbers. When the draw starts, 12 winning numbers will be randomly selected—you win or lose depending on how many you match.
Like other lottery games, small prizes can be won for matching some numbers, and the top prize is awarded for matching all numbers. But what makes HIT OR MISS unique, is that you can also win the top prize by matching absolutely nothing. It’s the first lottery game in Ontario where you can “lose” to win!
You can watch HIT OR MISS draws on the OLG Lottery App or on the OLG.ca HIT OR MISS page.
