The Beautiful Game celebrated by OLG
OLG is celebrating “the beautiful game,” given the arrival of World Cup Soccer in Canada (along with the U.S. and Mexico) in June, with the launch of a new scratch ticket.
As of Monday, the $10 soccer‑themed ticket offers players a chance to win one of four top prizes of $250,000.
“Soccer is bringing Ontarians together, and our new scratch ticket is inspired by that shared passion,” Amanda Marshall, OLG’s Chief Lottery Officer, said in a statement.
“Every play with OLG helps support communities across Ontario, with 100 per cent of OLG profits reinvested back into the province. The Beautiful Game scratch ticket is a fun way for players to join in the excitement while giving back.”
Prizes range from $10 to $250,000.
As an official Toronto World Cup 2026 host city supporter, OLG is also making an official attempt at a Guinness World Records’ title for the largest game of human foosball on May 23.
