No. As per AGCO’s rules, the ticket owner must be physically located in Ontario when the ticket is purchased. If tickets were purchased while not physically in the province, the ticket owner and their ticket would be disqualified from participating in the draw or winning.

Yes. However, the first and last name of only one designated team captain must be on the ticket. All prizes will be awarded in the name of that ticket holder. Group members must work out the details of payment and prize collection among themselves. The St. Francis Valley Healthcare Foundation is not responsible for any disputes arising from a failure or refusal to transfer winnings.

The Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario’s lottery rules clearly state that tickets can only be purchased within the Province of Ontario. If you are visiting Ontario, you are eligible to play as long as the ticket(s) are purchased at the time you are physically within the province. 

However, if you are in Ontario and using a computer/device/service provider from outside the Province of Ontario, our geo location software may indicate you are not in the Province.

Some of the computers/devices in the greater Ottawa area are routed through a Quebec based IP address, or their ‘new’ ISP is not providing a valid IP address, thereby indicating you are not within the province. You may check where your device is routed through www.ipstack.com

If this is the case, we offer you the following options to purchase tickets;

1. Reboot your device as it probably contains history/cache with out of province connections.
2. Allow/show your device’s location.
3. Follow the instructions on our Location Troubleshooting folder Location Troubleshooting – St. Francis Valley Healthcare Foundation
4. Finally, if none of these solutions work, please email us at office@sfvhfoundation.com with the caption/subject line LOTTERY…someone will contact you shortly to assist with your online purchase.
