A new study has ranked Canada’s provinces by the luck of its lottery players.
The study, released last month by online casino guide Datslots, analyzed lottery winnings of $10,000 or more reported in Canada’s three national draws, Lotto Max, Lotto 6/49, and Daily Grand, over the last 12 months.
Despite Ontarians winning more than $646 million in draws in the last 12 months, the province didn’t crack the top three on the list.
Nunavut topped the study as the luckiest province in Canada, winning a total of $172,473 per 1,000 residents.
“Residents in Nunavut have the highest chance of winning a large sum of money in the lottery than any other place in Canada,” a release issued by the company reads. The region claimed the top spot with help, in part, from one local who claimed a $7 million jackpot in October 2022.
In second place came Alberta, where residents won a total of $67,566 per 1,000 people in the 12-month period.
Despite winning the most money, Ontario placed just fifth, with winnings of $42,357 per 1,000 people.
The full Datslots ranking is as follows:

Residents in the Northwest Territories are the unluckiest in the country, according to the list. For every 1,000 residents in the territory, an average of $11,438 was won.
In total, the three draws have awarded more than $1.6 billion to Canadians in the last year, the study found.
