Summer weekends have a different energy. Whether you're filling up the tank on the way to the lake or stopping at a convenience store mid-road trip, a scratch ticket is an easy pick-up — and right now, the prize pools across Canada are looking unusually strong heading into the season.
Every pick below was chosen because 100% of top prizes are still unclaimed as of May 29, 2026. These aren't guesses — they're based on real remaining prize data tracked daily by Scratchers Edge.
ℹ️ How the picks work: We rank by the percentage of top prizes still unclaimed. A ticket at 100% means not a single jackpot has been claimed yet — the whole prize pool is still out there waiting.
🍁 Ontario — OLG
Ontario's lineup just got refreshed with some new May releases. All three picks below have their top prizes completely untouched — a clean sweep heading into the summer long weekend.
TRIPLE TURBO
The premium pick in Ontario this weekend. All five $500,000 top prizes are untouched, and at $30 it's the highest jackpot-to-price ratio among OLG's top-tier tickets right now. If you're going to spend on a scratch ticket this summer, start here. See live OLG data →
CROSSWORD EXTREME
Fresh off the presses — launched this month and not a single top prize claimed. Seven prizes at $350,000 each, all sitting there untouched. Early-run tickets are the best time to play, before word gets out. See live OLG data →
$350,000 BIG MONEY
Four $350,000 prizes and not one claimed. If you want to step down from the $30 tier without sacrificing prize availability, this is exactly the pick — the same perfect availability record at two-thirds the price. See live OLG data →

🌊 British Columbia — BCLC
BC is stacked this weekend. Multiple million-dollar prizes are still completely unclaimed, which doesn't happen often this far into the year. These three are the picks.
$20 DIAMOND
This is the best prize-per-dollar ticket in BC right now. Four $2 million top prizes — all untouched. That's a life-changing jackpot on a $20 ticket, with a clean availability record. Hard to make a case against this one. See live BCLC data →
$1,000,000 ULTRA
A million-dollar jackpot on a $10 ticket, and the entire prize pool is still out there. Six winners waiting to be found. This is the best budget pick in BC — and the value is almost absurd for what you're getting. See live BCLC data →
IN THE MONEY MULTIPLIER
Two $1 million prizes, neither claimed. A smaller prize pool than the Ultra, which means longer odds — but the jackpot is genuinely still there. If you want a second $10 pick in BC, this is it. See live BCLC data →

🌾 The Prairies — WCLC
Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and the territories are seeing some strong availability across all price points this weekend. Three picks, three different price points — all at 100%.
SAPPHIRE MINE 20X
There's one $400,000 prize left in this game — and it hasn't been claimed. That's a long shot, but the prize is real and verified as still out there. If you're going to spend $20, knowing the jackpot exists is the bare minimum — and here it does. See live WCLC data →
INSTANT LOTTO MAX
$5 for a shot at $100,000, both top prizes still unclaimed. The Lotto Max brand carries some serious name recognition in the Prairies, and right now the prize availability is as clean as it gets. A solid summer road trip pick. See live WCLC data →
TOP DOG CASH
One $100,000 prize left and it's still there. At $5, this is the kind of ticket you grab on a whim at the gas station on the way to the campground — and right now the data says the jackpot is still up for grabs. See live WCLC data →

⚜️ Québec — Loto-Québec
Loto-Québec's lineup is tighter than the other regions, but the availability data this week is strong — three tickets, all with their top prizes completely untouched heading into the weekend.
BOUM MULTIPLICATEUR
Québec's top $10 pick this weekend. Both $100,000 prizes are unclaimed, and the multiplier mechanic means solid secondary prizes too. If you want the best shot at a real win in Québec without spending more than $10, this is the one. See live Loto-Québec data →
PLINKO®
$100,000 top prize on a $5 ticket — and both prizes are untouched. That's the best value in Québec right now by a wide margin. Great pick if you want to keep it cheap going into the weekend. See live Loto-Québec data →
ANNÉES 90
The nostalgia-themed ticket has survived into summer with both top prizes still unclaimed. If you want a second $10 pick in Québec with a guaranteed-available jackpot, Années 90 delivers. See live Loto-Québec data →

The Bottom Line
Every single pick on this list is at 100% — not one top prize claimed anywhere across all four regions. That's a strong weekend to be buying. It doesn't mean you'll win, but it does mean you're not playing a game where someone already quietly collected the jackpot you were hoping for.
Summer is a good time to get outside, and if a scratch ticket is part of that — at least make it a smart one. The data updates daily. If you're reading this after May 30, some of these numbers will have moved — check the Scratchers Edge dashboard for the current picture before you buy.
⚠️ Play responsibly: Scratch tickets are fun, but they're still gambling. These picks are based on prize availability data — not a prediction of your outcome. Set a budget and stick to it. If gambling is causing problems, visit responsiblegambling.org or call 1-800-522-4700.
